Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 5 days)
I had one phone interview which was pretty standard fare. Then I was called in to see the hiring manager the following week. When I met her, it was on a floor with no other people on it, so the place looked abandoned. She was in a foul mood (whether that is normal or not I don't know) and she started off by opening her computer and typing an email to someone. I knew pretty quickly that we weren't going to be friends.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 3 weeks)
Company focuses on Competency-based interviewing: Tell me about a time when...
Typically have 2 - 3 interviews (Hiring leader; hiring leader's leader; hiring leader's colleague)
People are generally nice. Culture allows for work-life balance but it is a rigorous environment that examines and gives feedback on every aspect of a person's performance and personality formally 2x per year and informally almost daily.

Interviewed May 2010 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)
all contact was directly with the hiring manager, only heard from HR after I accepted the offer and needed to complete the drug test.

Interviewed Sep 2007 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 6 weeks)
Initally called by a member of the recruiting team (in-house) as they came across my CV online. 3 interviews in total. First interview was with the hiring manager and the recruiter. Second interview was with hiring manager's peer. Third interview was with hiring managers manager. Had frequent communication from recruiter throughout to let me know how things were progressing. Didn't feel that the interview questions were too probing or difficult but the process overall did feel exhausting.
