I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pixar Animation Studios (Emeryville, CA) in Jan 2008
Interview
They are pretty competitive to even get an initial response; however, once they do, they are pretty good about getting back to you quickly. Scheduling is a little tough but not unexpectedly so. Everyone is really friendly. They are very interested in your previous work and your take on the creative process. They don't ask any particularly tricky questions, mostly they check to see that you know what you say you know on your resume, and that you have done some interesting work in the past.
