I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Noblis (Falls Church, VA) in Apr 2014
Interview
Applied online, was contacted in early spring to setup a phone interview. First talked to an HR rep, then he/she setup an interview with the hiring manager. Hiring manager asked about my experiences and my background with technologies I would be using during the internship. Was then contacted again by the HR rep with an offer. Very quick process.

Question 1
Did not ask any of the "typical" interview questions.
First round was phone interview. Second was with the team and then receieved a rejection. I think it was more of a fit thing, they try to make sure teams fit right.
