Interviewed Aug 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 days)
First interview was with Senior Associated at the firm. The questions were basic and they asked me to describe my portfolio. The Interview functioned more like a conversation than a question and answer session.
I was asked back for a second round interview 2 days later. The second interview was 1:1 with a principal and was also very casual. This wasn't so much an interview as an opportunity to "sell" the company to me as they made me an offer on the spot. 1 week from first interview to offer. Very quick process.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
Interview took about 30 minutes. Went well in my opinion and I thought that it was a great fit. They were very nice and easy to talk to. A few days later I received a computer generated rejection letter. Oh well, on to the next opportunity.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
I applied online for an internship in February, I believe. Sent a resume and a few work samples. I heard from them about a month later via email, saying they reviewed my portfolio and resume and would like to continue with a phone interview. I picked a day that worked for me..they called right on time. The interview lasted about 30 minutes and was overall a pleasant experience although I was nervous, initially! They asked questions about my schooling, what I expected from an internship experience, what kinds of computer skills I had, etc. They asked for any other school projects I could show them, so I emailed them afterwards with attachments of additional projects. A week later they called me asking me if I would like to come and work for them for the summer! They also sent an email. I accepted a few days later and that was that!! It was a great experience.
