The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fragomen (New York, NY) in Jan 2010
Interview
Did not feel like an interview at all. The recruiter spent most of her time explaining the culture, goals, and organization of the firm. She was very nice, enthusiastic, and easy to talk to. She asked why i was interested in working with the firm and in immigration in general. Felt more like a fluid conversation. She told me to stay in contact with her and to email her as my last semester was coming to an end.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do I know you can be detail oriented with important information?
There were two interviews, one with HR and then with the team in person. There was some lack of communication in the middle of the process, with the HR not knowing if they would have openings in one or another office, so that required following-up.
Very simple - Phone interview and then in person interview. I was able to get more information on the role as well as expectations. Then I only had to wait a week to hear back and let them know if I was accepting. Overall a very easy interview process.
