I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DISH (Denver, CO) in May 2010
Interview
A recruiter contacted me and quickly scheduled a phone interview. It went well and she got back to me within two days to schedule a phone interview with the hiring manager. The interview with the hiring manager also went well, so the recruiter called me back very quickly to schedule a video/voicechat interview with the director. I scheduled to have that day off so I could be at home for the interview. The director never called. Within a few days, a different recruiter e-mailed me to see if she could set up a time for an interview with the same director. I elected not to move forward with the process.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DISH in Feb 2010
Interview
The intial phone interview consisted of several interview questions such as why do you want to work for our company,
Some of the things she asked were in regards to my past internships, even though I had full-time experience afterwards related to position and why I was looking for a job now.
I completed assessment, which I had a little bit of trouble accessing and had to do trouble shooting. The assessments I didn't think were correlated to necessary skills for the job.
The interviewer was respectful and shared good information.
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at DISH (Denver, CO) in Oct 2009
Interview
The interview process was very pleasant, aside from waiting for extended periods of time to hear back from the company.
The process began with a very casual initial interview at my University. Two employees interviewed me for about half an hour, strictly behavioral. I then had to complete HOURS worth of assessments and write a short paper, and upon evaluation of those assessments was invited to the three-day-long College Summit at the Corporate Headquarters in Englewood, CO.
The Summit was very well-organized. All 50-60 college students present were flown out to Denver and stayed in the Curtis Hotel downtown for two nights. We had two elegant dinners (with the CEO) and spent a day in four or five interviews with executives. After being offered a position with the company, they have taken weeks to get back to me with the specific offer details.
All in all, though, a positive interview experience.
