I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NBCUniversal (New York, NY) in Jun 2016
Interview
I did a phone interview and got a call from one of the coordinators during my scheduled time. Overall it was very formal, much like a college interview, rather than a back and forth conversational type of interview. The coordinator asked me a series of pre-written questions. I felt like the interviewer was not very friendly or interested in my answers. It seemed like they were impatient and just needed to get through the list of required interview questions.
