I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at SmithGroup (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
Nice interview atmosphere.
They looked at my resume and asked some questions about personal experience.
I did a presentation of my work, they asked a couple of questions about the portfolio and they did care about design ideas!
They talked about what they were actually doing and took me a tour around the office after interview.
The whole process from interview invitation to job offer is very efficient.

The interview process was for a entry level position and was fairly standard for an architecture firm. There was no hard-hitting question. I got the sense it was mostly to evaluate if you would fit the company culture. I did have to walk through my portfolio and give examples of problems solved, team issues, etc. on projects.
