I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Morningstar (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2013
Interview
Application required both resume and cover letter outlining interests and qualifications.
Initial interview was 30 minutes with Director of the group and the Team Lead (to whom hired employee would report) and was semi-informal and conversational.
Second round of interviews consisted of interviews with division heads in charge of business development, sales, and strategy. These interviews were more formal in the question / answer format, and much less conversational.
Entire process was complete within three weeks.

Interview
During the interview process, I had three rounds of interviews, meeting with three people each time. The process was managed well by the HR staff and team, but the multiple interviews were hard to schedule, so it was a bit cumbersome. The upside was meeting with employees in varying roles that all interacted with the role I was interviewing for. It was good to see the breadth (and the faces!) of the people I would eventually be working with.
