Interviewed Mar 2010 in New York, NY (took 1+ week)
I had a conversation with the HR rep who then called me in for an interview. I met 2 or 3 people during the first interview, came back the next week and got an offer after the second interview which technically was my third if you include the phone interview.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took 4 months)
My only complaint with this experience was that it dragged out over a long period of time. I was first contacted by a recruiter from the agency in the late spring and didn't get invited for an interview until October. But everyone there was prompt with responding to my emails and phone calls. And even though I did not get the job, the hiring manager and recruiter provided detailed feedback and advice. I can count the number of times this has happened on one hand, and I wish more companies did this with people who interviewed with them. I have a lot of respect for the people at Burson-Marsteller because of this.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process moved very quickly and was well planned. Most of the 1:1 interviews were conversational where you got a chance to reflect you personality. I spoke to several senior people, which was a good experience. There were ample opportunities to ask questions as well. My overall experience was very good.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in New York, NY (took 6+ weeks)
This was the longest interview process I have ever been through. From start to finish it took at least 45 days. I met with and talked to about 7 different people.
This is a group of very smart people, who all work extremely hard. The only advice I can offer express that you are a hard worker and a team player. This is very important.
Also, be honest about likes and dislikes. I don't think it will cost you the interview and you have a btter chance of working on things that interest you.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 8 weeks)
Interview process dragged on quite a bit. First round was very touch -- mostly broad open ended questions. Second and third rounds were much more conversational, talking through my resume. Included one video conference interview.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 days)
I was approache by the recruiting manager in San Francisco. He was extremely likable, professional and honest. It was a balanced interview- simple to tough questions. Later, I was interviewed by PR manager. He was professional with straight forward questions. My next interview was was with a Managing Direct. She seemed confused about her objective. I got a sense she was not sure what to ask. Overall, I had a good experience. It was a good job so it was a bummer that I didn't get the job.
