I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AECOM (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Got a surprise evening call from a recruiter. She asked if I applied for the position and verified my identity. From there, she launched straight into a screening that felt more like a phone interview. If you apply, be on your toes! I got a call the same day to go in for an in-person interview three days later. It all happened very quickly, but it took forever to get feedback afterward.

Good interview process - involved giving presentation. Great offices in Aldgate. There was not a great deal of information on the prospective role and team activities so try and prepare as much as possible.
