Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 3 days)
The interview starts with an hour research talk and is followed by a round-table Q&A. Then you will meet with individual researchers and will touch on a variety of topics. Some will want to further discuss your research with you and ask pointed questions. Other one on ones will focus on the interviewers research and your thoughts about, e.g. how you would tackle that problem, how you would extend it, where you see collaboration, discussion a specific problem they are currently facing. All in all 3 fun days, which include going out to dinner and asking questions in return.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
I got this opportunity to phone interview by submitting my resume through a recruiter contact I got during a conference. I have not heard from them yet.
For the phone interview, I was expecting questions about projects from my resume but the questions were from the courses I took. I think since the person was working on a Data mining/Machine Learning, lot of questions from ML was asked. Much depends on the interviewer but I think it is good to review your more research-based courses if any.
