Interview
I had two skills tests -- copyediting and substantive editing, and two half-days of interviews, mostly in small groups, but there were one or two one-on-ones. The questions were creative, though sometimes repetitive because of the small group format.

I applied online. I interviewed at The Motley Fool
Interview
The process consisted of four parts: a brief phone interview, a written skills test, an in-depth phone interview and a in-person panel style interview. The process took about two months and pleasant enough.
The initial phone interview explained the process and seemed to be a way to get a feel for the potential candidate. The skills test was a straight forward test of editing skills and the interviews were fairly relaxed. Overall it was a very good experience despite the outcome.
