I got a phone call from England office after one day i submitted my resume. The interviewer tried to figure out what my real intention to apply and kept a really good conversation, not just a list of standard interview questions. Even though i didn't get enough information at the initial stage of the phone call, but overall it was alright.

Question 1
What are the things that you want but your current company do not offer?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at TransPerfect (Washington, DC)
Interview
Total dragged out nightmare. First phone interview was in January, had a second one, went into the office and met with about five staffers, took a caliber test, went to a company party, and then was told I had to meet with another staffer outside of the office before getting this final stage over with. It was unprofessional, I was essentially told I had the job so I was confused as to why I needed to be brought in twice outside of the office to speak to a staffer that I had met with twice already. Did not go to the final meeting which was "for drinks" because I felt uncomfortable and thought it was unprofessional.

What was the last book you read?
When was the last time you failed at something?
Standard behavioral
I applied online. I interviewed at TransPerfect (Raleigh, NC) in May 2016
Interview
Had a phone interview with someone from DC even though the position was in Raleigh. He asked a series of 10 questions that were straight from a piece of paper and said nothing but "okay" after I answered each one. It was the driest interview I have ever had and not conversational at all. I saw all of the negative reviews right before the interview and realized that I would never want to work for a company like that anyways but still decided to give it a try. I interviewed over 2 weeks ago and still haven't heard back.
