Interviewed Oct 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 4 weeks)
HR organization does not really seem to know what they want (or at least some members). In the end, they did not choose any candidates and then went out again several months later with the same posting. Unfortunately, they decided this after spending time for 2 rounds of interviews.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 2 weeks)
I was interviewed by three individuals at my university. They were very organized and created a relaxed and comfortable environment for me. I was offered the internship at the end of the interview but had to wait a few weeks to receive a formal offer and paperwork.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Spoke with a PhD economist over the telephone for first round. Lasted between an hour and an hour and a half. Was asked about interest in the Fed, in RA role, and about relevant coursework. Quizzed on micro (intermediate price theory). They offered more information on the role: it's partly supporting policy prep, partly research in macro and banking. They're seeking people who plan to start econ graduate study after a couple years. Ideal for someone looking to do a doctorate, not ideal for someone uncommitted to an academic career path.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Richmond, VA (took 3 months)
Long and detailed. It started with a phone screen with HR. Then an interview with HR and a Sourcing manager. Then an interview of potential peers with about 6 or 7 of them taking turns asking questions. Finally, an interview with a senior executive. All along the way there were many delays making the process very long. They seemed like good people but be prepared for a very long wait to get an answer.
As far as the interview questions, most of the questions were behaviorally oriented, i.e., tell me about a time when...
