I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AT&T (Austin, TX) in Sept 2012
Interview
The interview was with 1 manger and 1 peer in a meeting room. They did not require a live demonstration of skill, this was an in-person interview after the phone screen. They were heavy on the OSI model and having me describe taking a call and troubleshooting it.
Very similar to many technical interviews. Be sure to emphasize customer service!
