Interviewed Apr 2008 in Salt Lake City, UT (took a day)
I already worked for the company and was interviewing for an internal role. It was a very easy process because I had already built up a reputation in the firm. The manager asked good questions about relatable skills and asked for examples. It wasn't one of those interviews where they ask ridiculous questions like how many gas stations are in the US. It was straightforward. There were three parts, introduction or interviewer and self intro (3 min each). About 20 minutes of questions from the interviewer followed. Then there was about 5 minutes for my questions about the role and firm.

Never interview during the holiday season. Most the upper managements were out of the office. I interviewed with the team members instead. A lot of questions to ask but did not explain what they actually do.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 2 months)
I applied online and got a phone call within 2 days from an extremely professional GS recruiter based in SLC. We chatted for 50 minutes regarding my background and culture at GS and what GS looks for in a candidate. 3 weeks from that conversation, I was setup for two 30 min phone interviews with 2 VPs and 1 Associate.
The interview was all fit questions based on past behaviour. Overall the interview experience was very posistive and I got to interact with few of the most talented people in the industry.
Advise: Be patient as it takes months for the hiring process.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 1 week)
I got the interview through a job fair. The interview was mostly behavioural questions. The operations team is looking mostly for fit. You need to tell stories of how good a team player you were.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took a day)
I interviewed with 5 different individuals in 3 hr period. The first 3 interviews seemed normal. The last two involved more of proving myself and sharing my work experience. The last person that interviewed me and who I believe I would have been reporting to lacked professionalism. The whole interview he looked like he was going to fall asleep. I was really disappointed by the quality of individuals they have working at GS.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Jersey City, NJ (took 2 days)
I had been in touch with the company since the summer. I was invited to their MBA summer camp and got amazing contacts. I applied for their program and kept in touch. I was invited to interview in Jersey City and I had a great time talking to them.
Interview was about my background and my fit with the company and the Operations group.
Very amazing people to talk to during the interview. I cannot speak anything bad about them. It is a great conversation with amazingly smart individuals.
Looking forward to my summer experience.
