I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at United Nations (New York, NY) in Mar 2016
Interview
Received internship offer email prior to interview. I believe the interview was more so out of formality. Basic behavioural questions were asked. Interview experience will vary across departments however. Applied and received an offer via email after 3 months. Recommend practicing behavioral questions and also reviewing job responsibilities and departmental specifics. Good luck to anyone applying.
