I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Motley Fool in Nov 2013
Interview
I applied through the website and was quickly contacted about submitting a writing sample. I returned the sample within the 3 days period and then did not hear back for two weeks. I was finally contacted to have phone interview with a current analyst and the hiring manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was a lot of focus on having industry experience and knowledge. Not interested in hiring someone and allowing them to learn about the industry on the job.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Motley Fool (Alexandria, VA)
Interview
Over the phone interview and then a very in-depth interview at Fool HQ with at least 8 different people, which lasted about 3-4 hours total. Although everyone was very nice it was pretty tiring -- you should definitely go in with much preparation, tons of questions, and know a lot about the company and their business. Don't just go in and hope to get a job because they have a good culture.

Interview
They emailed a few days after applying to say that I've made it to the next step which is to write an article on my favorite stock. That same day after sending in my article, they set up a phone interview for later that week. The phone interview only lasted several minutes and it was basic questions as well as asking what another favorite stock is.
