When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.
I'll copy and paste something I wrote for a similar thread. I think it applies here.

Bungie actually does do internships, but not like other internship. They only really do them for engineering positions, because internship for any other position at the studio wouldn't really make sense for an internship (art, design, writing). You would really only hire full time or contract for those kind of positions. With those positions you really have the talent that Bungie is looking for or you don't.
But from what my friend tells me, interns get interviewed like real employees. They have to go through the whole math mind crunching part like everyone else. Also, when they are looking to hire an intern, they are looking for potential employees and it's quite often when they hire an intern, they get employed after awhile. Also from what my friend tells me, they push out code to the games just like any engineer on their team.
Long story short. Internships yes. Many of them, absolutely not. Chances of getting one, slim to none [edit: Doesn't really apply to this thread, the guy wanted an internship with relatively no experience, but if you have a BS in CS, you have a chance]. They mostly look for employees.
Also, yeah it's kind of a person to person thing. They don't really advertise them on the front of the website. Kind of like JonnyOThan.
Also, are we sure Skip Weasel is an actual person? I thought it was just a joke. I don't think Bungie would hire a 15 year old, I thought that was the joke part of it.
