I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Columbia Bank (Eugene, OR) in Jul 2011
Interview
5 interviews total, including the first one being a phone interview, one peer interview, and an interview with a credit manager. The people seem friendly, mostly. It depends on the location. Some locations are great, and some are full of sarcastic unfriendly and very unhappy people. This seems to be the case in locations that were acquired predominantly.

The interview lasted about 30 minutes. There are two parts, technical questions, and behavioral questions. They ask about details and dig deeper into the risk management area. You could feel some pressure but their altitude is nice.
