I applied through college or university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at USAA (San Antonio, TX) in Jan 2012
Interview
Very, very slow. Be prepared to hurry up and wait.
Started with a resume submission. Best if you have some contact with them ahead of time (i.e. career fair, inside contact, etc). Then a phone interview. Very short. Then an in person interview. Wasn't too hard or technical. Then had to wait a very long time to hear if I got the job or not.
