Interviewed Dec 2011 in New York, NY (took 3 months)
I was initially contacted in September, 2011, by an outside recruiter. He sent me a brief questionnaire asking some fairly basic questions about options. I was called in for interviews on FOUR separate occasions, meeting 15 people (2 partners, 7 MD's, 6 VP's). One of those 15 people has been a partner for roughly ten years and told me at the end of my interview, "Well, if they want you, I see no reason not to hire you." I was assured by the recruiter and several others that the job was mine. As someone who takes people at their word, I assumed a job offer would be coming shortly. However, the recruiter called me back to let me know that one person didn't like my lack of experience in an area where I have a ton of experience. When I told the recruiter that the explanation was untrue, he said, "He said you were nervous too." Amazingly, not one other person said that, so I responded, "I don't get nervous in interviews." The recruiter said, "Well, that's what he said." Needless to say, I was not impressed by the interviewing process.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took 2 months)
They conducted more than 15+ rounds of interview over a long period of 2 months. After initial few weeks, I stopped asking when would the interview process end. Most of the questions in different interview rounds were repetitive. Every interviewer stated a few great things about the company & gave opportunity to ask questions. Used all means of interviewing including telephone calls, video conferencing, tele-presence, telephonic panel interview, in-person interviews.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 3 weeks)
1 tel and 2 face-to-face interviews were required. Quick turnaround on interview feedback sped up the process significantly. Entire process from first receiving the job spec to offer took about 6 weeks.Interviews took 3 weeks. HR was surprisingly fast to make an offer only days after final round.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation process as the offer matched what I was asking for. Although I had potential offers from other IBs GS would not engage in a bidding war
