I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Berkeley, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
I met on campus for an interview. The interviewer was friendly and engaging but did not seem really prepared, since she randomly chose questions from a list in front of her to ask from, which probably also led to a really fast interview. It was behaviorial based rather than technical, with very standard questions.
