I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Black & Veatch (Overland Park, KS) in Feb 2014
Interview
First of all, you need to introduce yourself. Then he asked me about some situation questions. Things like difficult situation you had in the past and how you dealt with that. Because I have a PhD, he asked me why I would apply as an entry level engineer. On the interview form, they have a check mark of EIT or not. Make sure you pass the FE exam.
