I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salem Media Group (Richmond, VA) in Feb 2016
Interview
This was for a sales position at Salem Web Network.
I had several phone and Skype interviews with key personnel, followed by an in-person meeting with the head of the department and a few sales people on the team. This gave me a chance to meet a range of employees on my team or a similar team, get familiar with the expected company culture, and ask all my questions to the most minute detail.
Interviews were pleasant and friendly and felt much more like a conversational hangout than a formal interview. Focus seems to be on personality and cultural fit as long as you make clear that you know what you're doing. Not at all intimidating - best interview process I've ever had.
"Hardest" one was the initial HR phone interview - that's where all the typical questions were asked and it took about a half hour. As long as you know your job you'll be fine.
The whole process took about 1.5 months.

Interview
The interview process I have to say went real smooth. Salem knew prior to the interview that I had minimal knowledge with Data Analytics, but were impressed with my sales experience. They all agreed I could be taught and pick up pieces here and there to sale. All three interviews were held by pleasant people!
