I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CNN in Jul 2013
Interview
Spoke with a recruiter in Atlanta after submitting my resume directly to someone else (recruitment and the program itself are only in their Atlanta HQ, which is interesting since they have offices all over the world). Everyone seems professional yet short on time. Phone interview was recorded and even the phone invitation to the phone interview was recorded.
