I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Rockstar Games (Carlsbad, CA) in May 2009
Interview
It might be a special case, but they were in need for more people to finish the game. The interview was panel based. They came in as a group of two people. If you make it to the TD, then you have pretty much passed the interview. Each group will ask you some specific questions they is relevant to them.
