First there's a phone call with HR. Then they bring you in for an interview at their office. The interviews are way too focused on behavioral questions, and it feels like there's too much emphasis on them. They interrogate you a lot if you don't answer the way they want.

The whole thing from the HR call to the decision takes about 2-3 weeks. You'll talk to HR first, then the department heads. Everyone's pretty nice, but they're really looking for substance. A lot of the internships are in PR, comms, and sales. The research internships are also pretty great since you get to work with top people in the field and lawyers from interest groups (research and gov affairs). The CEO actually cares about the interns, he used to be one. Not a ton of perks, but hey, it's paid.

It took me about 2-3 weeks from applying to getting the interview. Since I was remote, a group of managers from the department I applied to was on the Skype call with me. They extended an offer about 1-2 weeks after the interview.
