Interviewed Apr 2012 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 3 weeks)
I applied for the position pretty late, for they had already chosen most of their candidates. I was also referred by one of the employees. But luckily, I got to opportunity to have a phone interview for screening I suppose. After that round, I was flown into slc for the next rounds. I was told that it would be a 1:1 interview for 30mins each. But when i got there, I actually had four interviewers...two for each 30mins session. My interview was at 1pm, and my interviewers were pretty cool, and they seemed to really love the culture of the company.
Most of the questions were behavioral.. and they really wanted to know why you chose GS, and why I chose that particular division.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Singapore (Singapore) (took a day)
They first called me up for a 2:1 competency based interview, mostly asking "fit" questions and integrity questions. The second round consists of 2 back to back 20 min 2:1 interviews, all on "fit" questions. the 2:1 usually consists of a "good guy" "bad guy" or "senior" "junior".
Interviewers were friendly, try to engage both of them. Prepare qutie a few questions beforehand because there will be quite some time that is allocated for your questions.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 4+ weeks)
There were 2, 2:1 interviews, lasting about one hour in total. One was behavioral where they asked about my interests, resume, etc. The other was slightly more technical asking about the company, division, etc. Overall, they were very nice and welcoming. It was only the one interview day though. After that, I got a call about a month later with a job offer.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Consisted of two separate 2 to 1 interviews. Each took thirty minutes. People were serious, but not discouraging. Make sure you know the vocabulary related to the position you are applying for. It took around 2 months for them to get back with the offer.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
Part of the Goldman Sachs Consortium Interview Day in Boston.
Two half-hour interviews, both 2:1.
First interview was pretty much standard; "walk us through your resume", etc. Nothing technical, mostly about relevant experience.
Second interview required a few more details, and had a few scenarios. However, nothing too tricky.
Interviewers were generally very pleasant, a very fun couple of interviews!

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Newark, NJ (took a day)
Submitted resume through my school's career development center. Interviewed with four GS operations employees who conducted the interview in the form of two back to back 2:1 interviews. The questions were primarily behavioral and encouraged you to draw on concrete examples for what you were saying. All in all, not too bad.
