I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PIMCO (Newport Beach, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
I was very excited when I received an e-mail from a PIMCO recruiter to set up a phone interview; however, looking back, I think people glorify working for PIMCO. It is not quite as professional as you would imagine.
At first, I was nervous to interview with the interviewer because their qualifications were impressive (Ivy League degrees). However, I quickly realized that the interviewer was exceedingly unprofessional and rude. The whole process was alarming and discouraging.
It certainly left a bad taste in my mouth and I certainly will not be applying there again.
Note to applicants: be warned that the interviewer might flake on you
