Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3+ weeks)
You have to make everyone believe you are all rooting for the same cause and you will succeed even though your choice of action to achieve that objective will probably differ. It is not a problem to disagree with the interviewer as long as your argument has merit and you are not just being objectionable because you feel that gives you kudos. The drawback was that whilst nearly all of the people are super bright and highly driven, the world they live in is based on different requirements from "life". These people are not executioners outside "executing" a deal.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took 5 weeks)
I was asked questions like, are you good at algebra and can you file quickly. I had to take a typing test, they needed me to be able to type 45 WPM. I also had to prove that my IQ is over at least 145.

Reason for Declining
I declined the offer because while I liked the position and pay that being the Vice President of Investment banking would offer, I didn't like the idea of the Vice President of Investment Banking.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.
