I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Ocean Tomo (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2012
Interview
1st Round was a skype interview.
2nd Round was at their headquarters. Met with a few people including a director and interviewed with all of them. Also had lunch with a couple of analysts. There was also a case interview. Overall, easy. They don't expect you to know much about intellectual property. They are looking for if you are analytical enough or not.
