The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ESPN (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2010
Interview
Very professional. First screened by HR associate. Interview set up by VP assistant. Received call promptly at specified time. Lasted 25 - 30 minutes. Thorough questions. Answered all completely.
In addition to interviewing with the VP that would ultimately become my boss/supervisor, I interviewed with four other staff who oversaw various areas I would ultimately work with directly. The process took nearly two months to complete. It was thorough - but not overly complex.
