I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Root Cause (Boston, MA) in Sep 2015
Interview
Long and very in-depth process. They really care about who they are bringing onto the team, how they will work with others, and most importantly, how well they can do the work. Skills and degrees matter. You don't want to be too overqualified but they definately go for the Ivy-Leaguers. It can take a while for them to get back to you in terms of process so be prepared for a wait. Everyone was very pleasant during the interviews and are very warm.

Interview
I interviewed for the full-year internship position at Root Cause's Social Innovation Forum. The process was relatively quick and took only a couple weeks. They were also very flexible in waiting for my response and willing to work with my schedule.
I was contacted via email by the SIF coordinator, we scheduled a time to interview, conducted the interview, and then I received an email congratulating me on my offer.

Question 1
There were quite a few behavioral questions, which I wasn't prepared for since I thought they would be asked in a second round.
First step was a one hour phone interview within two weeks of sending in application. Second step was an onsite interview of 4 hours with a pre-interview research assignment and presentation. The onsite interview included 3 interviews, three assessments and the presentation

Question 1
Many 'tell me about a time...' that were very specific.
