I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Xerox (Webster, NY) in Dec 2013
Interview
Phone interview or onsite presentation of your research work.
If you are in town, you should give an onsite presentation to the whole research group.
Otherwise, you may need to present your work to the whole group using Webex. The whole group may ask you questions during your presentation.
Normally, you should have an assigned main contact researcher, who is going to be your mentor for your internship. However, the whole group may also give their suggestions. Since this is a research position, many Ph.D students will apply. It's pretty competitive.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Xerox (Paris) in May 2011
Interview
The first screening is via a phone interview, if you make the second round you are invited for an on-site presentation of an hour, followed by one or two days of interviews. These are rounds of 1-1 interviews with peers and site managers. In each interview you will be tested on your own field of expertise and will have to discuss the topic of the initial project you might work on and the field of expertise of the interviewer.
Interview questions [1]
