The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CBRE (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Very intensive through multiple stages. Questions throughout the process were fairly basic and not as challenging as I expected.
The epitome of rigid corporate culture so focus on fitting that mold while showing some unique traits or skills to differentiate slightly.

Interview
Met with two different recruiters the first day. They explained what the intern would do and who they were looking for. Asked me questions about my education and passed work experience. Called back for a second interview for a group about a week later. Pretty informal interview.
