I interviewed as the last candidate of the day. The interviewers appeared tired and uninterested as they introduced themselves. If you can, reschedule you're interview time to earlier in the day.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took a day)
All the reviews I have read were somewhat helpful so my goal here is to be as fully encompassing as possibly in this review.
After they expressed interest in my, they set up an hour long phone interview. The interview was actually two 30 minute interviews with two different people. One was a relatively new hire (less than 5 years) and in a similar position and one was much higher up and much older. All the questions were lifestyle questions and were closer to conversations than interviews. However, they care most about team work experience, big or small, so have some examples planned ahead of time.
A few weeks later I was asked to come to SLC for an interview. It was again only an hour long but consisted of two 2:1 interviews. All the interviewers were very nice and it felt pretty informal the whole time. There were more resume based questions but it still centered around team based experiences. Again, no technical questions. My guess is that if you present yourself well the interview will be easy, but if your shaky in the start the technical questions might come to see if you will crack.
It took 2 1/2 weeks to get back to me with an offer.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 3 weeks)
I submitted my resume and a cover letter to university recruiting. Goldman sent me an e-mail a couple weeks later to schedule an on campus interview. The interview was 1 hour and was broken into 2 half hour segments, each with 2 VPs. Basic behavioral questions were asked. About 3-4 days after that interview I got an e-mail about final round interviews in Salt Lake City. Same format for final round. Still waiting to hear back.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
It was fairly easy. I simply turned in my resume to my career department, then I received a call from GS a few weeks later concerning interview times. I then went to my interviews (2 2:1 interviews) and then they called me a couple weeks later saying I received the offer.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4 weeks)
I applied in December and got my invitation to the first round of the interview in January. The first round consisted mainly of looking to understand more about my personality. After the a week, I was invited round to the second round. This round consisted more of drilled questions pertaining to the financial industry and the field that GS was in.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took a day)
The interview process was very short for me (one day), but for most of my friends it was 3 weeks worth of interviews. The interview was mostly driven to find out how detail oriented I am and how I have approached taskes that involved attention to detail for long periods of time. The backround check was extremely extensive and took about 3 weeks.
