I applied in-person. I interviewed at Harris & Associates (CA) (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
I was a bit surprised at the ease of questioning, but it did come as a rapid fire form all three panelists. Some of the questions were repetitive (possibly as an attempt to test the true knowledge. However, if you answer truthfully and you indeed know what you are doing there should be no problem. Possibly it could be a sort of physiological test to see if you can multitask and handle stress.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Harris & Associates (CA) (Concord, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I arrived for the oral interview which was about a half hour or so. There were laughs between the three member panel, they knew each other pretty well. I did not feel intimidated at any point. After the interview I took a CAD test. If you have any AutoCAD/Civil 3D tutorials do not skip the basics. About a week after the interview I received a call from the director of engineering services offering me the job.
