Interviewed Sep 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Most unprofessional interview experience of my life. The interview was not even a real interview and my interviewee was over an hour late. The person basically just told me about the job and hired me on the spot. They told me they needed someone to start right away which was what I wanted to do but in reality, it took weeks to actually get started.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 3 weeks)
I had 3 1:1 interview rounds, first with maybe hiring manager ( as they hadn't decided how senior the position would be) then , the actual hiring manager and then a HR lady. Conversations were fairly straight forward, about my background, what they needed, what the situation was etc etc.
One of the interview questions were, are you used the manage people and can you multi task in a fast paced environment? Also why BoA Merrill Lynch?
After 3 rounds, got an offer, negotiated a bit the salary, as there was not much room to do so and accepted the offer.
