I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at United Nations in Sep 2018
Interview
I had two interviews with two separate teams; both were positive experiences. I was told ahead of time via the initial request for interview e-mail who I would be interviewing with, which allowed me to do some research ahead of time about their profiles/backgrounds, and each one was followed up on within a week with the next steps (one team offered the internship, the other declined).
