Interviewed Feb 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
First round was 1:1 with a campus recruiter at my college. The next round, called the "Inside Look" program, was a day long program at the office in which I was hired. There were two 30-minute interviews with managers/partners, a group exercise session, and a speed recruiting session. The speed recruiting session was much like speed dating in which candidates would get 5 minutes to talk to managers, partners, and current associates about their experiences and what to expect. All in all, it was a fun and positive experience.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Had an on campus interview, which consisted mainly of behavioral questions. My advice is to know yourself and be very well prepared for behavioral questions. Second Interview consisted of three seperate interviews with managers and partners. Less behavioral and more converational about goals aspirations and how you can be an asset to the company

Interviewed Nov 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
On campus interview. I met with a senior manager. I was supposed to meet a partner, but the partner went back to office after the morning and this senior manager came to the campus to take place of him. The interviewer just asked general questions.
All the candidates wait in the confrence room. The HR was also in the room, doing her work and answered recruiting questions. She is very friendly.
