I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at TrueCar in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview process for interns was quite relaxed as a college student. You can apply online or at a career fair, and then have a phone interview with one of the engineers. You then have a short in-person interview with engineers (or sometimes executives). I actually received my offer on the spot in the in-person interview.

I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TrueCar (Santa Monica, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
Applied through school. Contacted a few days later and asked for a phone call. Recruiter missed our phone interview twice. I emailed and got a phone call a few days later. 1st phone interview was more informational than anything, told to wait for an email. A week later, got a phone interview with a director - this time behavioral and informational, told to wait again. Two weeks later, got an email asking to come for an on-site interview, and at this point it's been over a month since I got the 1st email - by this time I had already accepted a position with another firm. If offered a position, and if could, would have accepted a position here, but the process took too long. Either everyone there is very busy, or they don't care about interns or don't want to be there.

Interview
First, I met a guest speaker from Truecar in class lecture, then I sent her my resume, and successfully received a return email from recruiting manager. Before the actual interview, the recruiting manager called me first to confirm an available time block. After a few days, I received a call from project manager.
