Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
I posted my resume on the internet, a recruiter put me in touch with Lehman. I had about 4 interviews in 1 day including a technical interview with the rest being a general fit interview. I had to brush up on my textbook information to prepare for the technical interview, review my resume to be sure I could answer any questions and be prepared with questions for the interview.
Negotiation Details
I tried asking for them to match my vacation time from my previous employer which didn't work, but I would suggest always ask if you could get a better salary or any benefits.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Met with two attorneys who seemed more interested in discussing my current law school career than the job description. Overall, was overqualified for a position in a company that is winding down.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
The first interview was a fit interview, and I hit it off with my interviewer. Walked through the resume, asking questions about previous experiences such as what my main responsibilities were and describe any challenges I encountered . The next interview was a super day of 5 interviews in a row. The younger analysts had heavy quantitative questions, while the senior ones asked the strength/weakness/leadership questions.

They will first phone interview just probabaly to juice the numbers, then you will talk to a hiring manager. After all of that you will eventually talk to your bosses, boss then maybe or maybe not get an offer, however they will leave you hanging for a long time. But if you have the goods, it is an easy process.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
This was a a strange interview. The interview was not with Lehman but with Alvarez the firm overseeing its liquidation. Once i realized that the position was project oriented and not service line oriented I tried blowing up the interview but they still made me an offer anyway.
