Interviewed Sep 2010 in McLean, VA (took a day)
This was a very basic behavioral interview. I hate this type of interview because there is practically no way to measure performance. I interviewed one week ago, so I am still waiting to hear back. The questions were fairly basic, such as: "Tell me about a problem you faced and the solution." I'd rather do a case interview, at least they show if someone is smart enough to be an analyst.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took a day)
The interview process is not very intense. It begins with a phone screen. Most of the questions are behavioral in nature. A few times I was asked technical questions that were testing my knowledge of how changes in asset values are reflected on the balance sheet and income statements.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in McLean, VA (took 5 weeks)
I interviewed on my college campus at Virginia Tech. I'm a Business Information Technology major. They took a while to get back to me, I think it was like over a month maybe. I got a phone call one evening offering me the position and they give me a housing stipend as well because I didn't live in the job's area.

no.

Asked a bunch of questions even the interviewer didn't know the answers too and thought they were pointless, otherwise just common sense questions.
