I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Epic (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2009
Interview
I applied online (a very large search engine) for a technical position and was contacted within a few days by phone and invited for a phone interview. The phone interview discussed my background and was brief, followed by an email the next day with an invitation to visit the company HQ to interview. The onsite interview included a presentation, a skills test, and group interview. Individual interviews also occured, a series of tours of the expansive unique campus and lunch on the campus also take place during the day. Epic seemed like a nice place for entry level applicants.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Epic (Madison, WI) in Oct 2009
Interview
Met recruiters at a campus career fair. The recruiter I spoke with was fairly nice, young, and stressed the casual culture of the company. I spoke to her briefly about the position I was interested in and after she looked over my resume and asked about my SAT scores, she invited me to an interview the next day, held on our campus. I was emailed a link to a personality/crtiical thinking test the same day and took it before the interview.
One strange thing: I was told at the fair that I wouldn't neet to dress formally (jeans would do) for the interview, but when we met again the next day for the interview she was dressed pretty professionally. Just thought that was strange. I think you should err on the side of professional, or at least business casual even if they tell you jeans will do.
