I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at MIT
Interview
Very long process. From the time I applied, it took 3 months to receive any information about the status of my application. I finally heard back and had a string of interviews (5-6) in one day.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MIT (Cambridge, MA) in Sep 2011
Interview
I was brought in for a temp to perm position. This job required you to be personable, so they just wanted to talk and get to know me. The ladies I worked with were very easy to talk to, offered me water or coffee, and generally made me feel very comfortable. The interview lasted about an hour in which they asked about my resume and past experiences and how they were applicable to the position.
