I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sally Ride Science (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Interviewed twice with multiple groups of people. Hired on as a consultant before going full-time. Had to ask for full-time employment when I got to the point where I was going to leave without an offer, and they said yes. Everyone is really smart and friendly and wants you to succeed, very open culture.
