I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Condé Nast (New York, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
I first went through a phone interview with one of the employees at Conde Nast. The phone interview was very cordial and brief, and lasted about 5 minutes at most. I was asked about my background, why I wanted to work at Conde Nast and also my experience. I was contacted back a few minutes later and was scheduled a face to face interview with another person. The interview was very similar to the phone interview and the interviewer was very friendly throughout the interviewing process.
There was one screening interview with an HR representative, and then one interview with a hiring manager. Neither one was more than 30 minutes. The HR representative called to offer the job.
Application process was pretty simple. First stage was the application, then you had a video task. Then a final interview. Advice would be to really research the company e.g recent news and understand the company values.
