Interviewed Aug 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took 1 week)
I started in another department as a temp with the company and heard of an open position. I inquired about it and was granted an interview. The interview itself was pretty standard, questions about my experience and background, schooling, skills. The interviewer was extremely professional and courteous. The office is upscale and professional, everyone is very well dressed. There is definitely a lot more cooperation and communication between departments than any other company I've ever worked with.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
When I arrived for my face-to-face I was kept waiting in the lobby for well over 30 mins. Eventually I was taken into a small conference room and had a very casual conversation with a few separate individuals from the team I would be joining, including my potential supervisor. It did not appear that they were organize or prepared for my interview. At times it felt as though I was driving the questions. Day two, I was treated to lunch. Following that I once again met with my potential supervisor and then two members of the executive team. Process was relatively laid back, with no set or very challenging questions. More conversational in nature.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2 days)
I had applied online, and the next day the HR coordinator called me for a brief phone screen interview.
I successfully passed the phone screen, then after that they sent me a skills test to complete online, it was pretty straight foward.
Then I had a in person interview with the Team leader, interview wasn't very hard at all as my resume spoke for itself.
Second interview was with a skills and performance manager where I was asked behavioral questions.
Judging from the interview, they seemed laid back and friendly.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Honolulu, HI (took 2 days)
The company posted an ad on Craigslist. After the initial meeting, a basic accounting skills test was given (written, calculator allowed). As long as you know your accounting equation, how to create journal entries, and basic accounting principles (no prior period adjustments, accrual based vs. cash based accounting, and general ledger principles) you should do fine. From my observation, how you perform on the test will determine the difficulty of the portfolio assigned to you. The second interview is much easier - you will most likely go to lunch with staff members for an informal meeting where your personality will be (indirectly) assessed.
As for the people, office, and work culture - pleasant, overall. I'd say the value of desirable work qualities are in this order: 1. The ability to get along and be pleasant (no matter what), 2. To form as many important connections as possible, 3. To understand how to communicate with the executives (think "chain of command"), 4. Determine all the "inter-relationships" between executives/staff (Asian and Hawaiian culture has a huge influence).

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
Very straightforward. Simply asked what my expectations were in terms of job responsibilities. The employers did not ask any technical questions. Simply assessed my objectives in pursuing an internship with the group. It was not necessary to prepare for this interview.
