Interviewed Oct 2011 in Cleveland, OH (took 1+ week)
The interview process began on campus, with a 2:1 interview. Mixture of behavioral/fit questions and technical questions. It tested more accounting knowledge than traditional technical Finance questions.
Was called back half a week later and was invited to Super-day at their HQ in Cleveland. The Super-day consisted of 6 interviews; 5 behavioral and 1 technical. Many of the interviewers were very casual and easy to talk to, and the technical was not as difficult as many other tech interviews for other banks.
Overall, it was a great experience and the people were nice. But unless you are from Cleveland-area or have a desire to be in Cleveland, it is a tough choice.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Brooklyn, OH (took 1+ week)
Was referred to the position by a staffing agency. Had an interview with two of the position's supervisors at the Brooklyn location. An average interview, a few "star format" questions, certainly not the hardest interview I've ever had. The whole interview took about 20 minutes. Was given an offer one week later.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Cleveland, OH (took a day)
Since I had worked at Key Bank before I had a stream lined interview. I was basically interviewing for the same position I got downsized from the year before, but in a different LOB. I interviewed directly with the hiring manager. I got an overview of the position, and what they were looking for. I only had to explain my past work for Key and fortunately was not asked those inane 'behavioral' questions. Unfortunately I was the second choice for only one opening.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Cleveland, OH (took a day)
Phone interview for screening. Then a superday with several 1:1 interviews. Questions consisted of both technical and behavioral based, with the majority of them being behavior. Technical questions were not entirely difficult; have a general knowledge of accounting and financial statements and also some current events in business. Behavior questions were sometimes repeated but standard questions.

It was very pleasant. Make sure you are aware of what is going on in business, and are able to recall specific companies and show knowledge of their processes, be comfortable with your strengths and weaknesses, have examples of your leadership and team work experiences. And be as specific as you can.

very straight forward; recruiter was very nice; asked me about my understanding of the position and asked me walk through my resume asked about 2 internships; she said I dont have any related experience of financial analysis and not further pursue that position with me but told me that she might have another position more related with risk analysis that better fits me
