I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Viasat (Carlsbad, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Referred internally by someone I knew. Process was quick and painless, and after a single phone interview with a technical employee I had an offer. Other interns who were not referred had more rigorous interview experiences from what I could tell.

I applied online and sent my resume in. They emailed me with a link to set up an online interview. The interview lasted about an hour. It was a good conversation
I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Viasat (Amherst, MA) in Sept 2017

Fairly Simple, selected from Campus Recruitment. Spoke to the representative at the career fair, they were interested in me since I was a junior now and offered me an interview for the very next day.

I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Viasat in Dec 2016
Interview
Met a representative at a career fair, and then got invited for an on-campus interview about a month later. Interview lasted about half an hour, and was pleasant overall. Had no technical questions, which was very surprising, since that's all I prepared for. Talked the whole time about my internship experiences, and my side projects.
