Interviewed Apr 2012 (took a day)
The interview was pretty difficult-a rep from london called me and instantly the questions came firing, they asked me some distinct differences between interdealer brokers and traders, investment banks; know their competitors and how iCap has them beat. Stock pitch in their as well; also, in the midst of all of that, they asked 2 math problems. I was not allowed to ask questions about the job/internship afterwards - so I left the phone interview not knowing anything about the job at hand.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
Basically, the phone interview is all about the company. You should know everything about the company, the position and the department... The second round is composed of group task, personality test, quant test and interviews. The work culture is as strong as that on the trading floor. If you like it, you would be successful. If not, just don't take the offer.

The interview process was what you would expect for a internship. Just a lot of questions about the company and making sure your interests line up with what they are looking for
