Interviewed Oct 2011 in Washington, DC (took 4 weeks)
First I was given two back to back 30 minute phone interview. Each interview consisted of 10 minutes of behavioral, 15 minutes of case, and 5 minutes of questions. The second interview was more conversational than the first. The cases in this round were pretty easy.
I was invited for a final round where I spent the day attending about six 1-on-1 interviews and a lunch. Almost all of the interviews had both a case and behavioral component. The last interview was just a conversation with a partner. For the cases, I would recommend refreshing your knowledge in econometrics (linear regressions), cost damage calculations, and supply and demand.
The people there are very nice and low-key. The tough part is staying sharp for all of the case interviews.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Menlo Park, CA (took 1+ week)
I was called 2 days after submitting my application. First round interview consisted of 3 30 minute interviews each with an Analyst. The case studies were first, antitrust issues of fictional Coal Industry. Second valuation of an announcement that hurt a company stock. And third, sub-prime mortgages and bank risk. 2 business days later I was called to be flown to the office. That consisted of 5 30 minute interviews with case studies ranging from real estate pricing to hedge fund management and pharmaceutical effectiveness suit. All interviewers were very nice and I felt welcome. Because I had a time sensitive offer, I was called a few days after and told I did not get the position. This was after they hired most analysts and were looking for additional ones to fill out the team.
