Interviewed Oct 2011 in Neenah, WI (took a day)
Applied via my university job board. This appeared to be a pre-screening interview; I passed and was referred to sign up via a website and would wait for the second round of interviews. I did not make it to the second round as I think I waited too long to sign up (+1 week), so definitely apply early. Interview was very relaxed, was with the Director of Mergers & Acquisitions.
Interviewer had a list of questions and wrote down the responses.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Roswell, GA (took a day)
The interview process covers basic behavioral questions, ie. How did you react in X situation? How do you deal with conflict? One interview was a bit more technical, ie. Explain rate of return to a non finance person. Overall, a relaxed environment and a great insight into company culture.
I was flown into Roswell the day before and stayed in a hotel down the street. At about 9, I began a string of interviews with members of my potential department. Each lasted about 45 min. At lunch, I spoke with employees in the position I applied for. After lunch I had one final interview and I was finished by about 3pm. They drove me to the airport and I departed for another interview in another state.
They were very flexible with travel arrangements. I did not have to return to my city of origin (Houston), they flew me to Miami where I had another interview. Furthermore, once I accepted the offer, they reimbursed me for travel expenses even though I hadn't requested it.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 days)
The process for me began at my university's career center and my first interview occured on campus. The intial interview was behavioral with personality questions and was just the interviewer getting a feel for my motivation and drive as an individual. The second interview was on the K-C campus and was approximately 5 hours long comprised of one-on-ones with a few analysts, business analysts and a director of finance. This interview was much more intense with technical questions on NPV analysis and Return on Investment questions as well as a simulation of a mill problem. The individuals who interviewed me were friendly and easy to talk to on both a personal and professional level during every interview.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
I got the interview through my university. The process was very formal, with the interviewer first pushing me a piece of paper to identify my work-authorization status. Then we went through a list of prepared questions and he filled out my answers. The questions centered around how I worked in a team, and relevant experiences to a Financial Analyst role. At the end, he asked if I had any questions. I discovered that the Financial Analyst program is first a 16-20 month rotation at one of two locations, then you are shuttled to different locations that match your career goals. Apparently that never ends. My interviewer had moved 8 times in the past 16 years.
