I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ACT in Jan 2015
Interview
Securing a position here is extremely competitive. They receive a lot of applicants. Hiring decisions are left to individual departments, which gives each process a slightly different feel. Overall, the process was well coordinated and easy to follow for my research based department. For internship positions they keep the process on the shorter side, with only one interview for some and then sometimes a test to demonstrate your ability to meet position requirements.
It was a video interview. You will need to answer three short questions regarding how your prior experience matches the job. You will need to answer what you expect the job brings to you as well.

relaxed, calming and very interactive, interviewer seemed extremely knowledgeable and supportive, no grilling throughout, overall, a great experience with no hiccups. The interview ended with a twenty plus minute long discussion of 5g vs Optical Fiber, which was fun as well.
