You have an initial phone interview and if that goes well they offer you an opportunity to go in front of a board in your second interview. It was a little intimidating at first but that make it a comfortable environment.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Montage International (Laguna Beach, CA) in May 2013
Interview
long, multiple rounds, many questions, needed to study and pass test of questions all about the hotel such as values of montage, names of paintings, landmarks at the hotel, etc.
