Interviewed Jun 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I sat down with two managing directors and two associates for about a half hour each. They described how the position would go and asked me a few technical questions. How would you analyze a financial institution compared to a comapany that manufactured widgets? The interview itself was not that difficult.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
The interview was split up into two sections. The first was a group case study interview with the other candidates. All candidates sat around the conference table with a valuation case and 4 questions to which they would present answers to a VP or higher staff member. The second part of the day consisted of 1:1 interviews with mostly mid-level staff. Mostly conversational and fit questions, but also a few technical questions pertaining to past experiences/education.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Detroit, MI (took a day)
Applied through my college career website. Got both behavioral and technical questions.
For behavioral questions
1. Describe a time you had to make an ethical question that most people were against.
2. Talk about a time you gave a technical presentation
Technical Questions
1. How does the financial statements link together?
2. Describe terminal value
3. What is enterprise value
4. What is CAPM
I think it really depends who you are interviewing with. I had a senior associate and a director where both lack personalities and emotions... hope this helps!

I was refered by an employee of the firm, and scheduled an interview within a week of initial contact, directly out of graduate school. The interview consisted of a one-on-one discussion with the local director, followed by a skills test, and then a lunch with the current staff. It took about three weeks to hear back from the firm, at which point an offer was made.
