I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ICON (Remote, OR) in Nov 2015
Interview
Phone screening that lasted about 25 minutes. Following week, a video interview that can last up to 2 hours. I've heard of candidates getting a 3rd interview. The interviewers were very very pleasant!

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ICON (New York, NY) in Dec 2014
Interview
The interview itself was a bit harsh. They ask questions from ALCOA principles to your experience as a CRA from the gate. It took about 4 weeks to get my offer.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ICON (Ann Arbor, MI) in Sep 2013
