I learned a lot about the company/culture from the interview process.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Baltimore, MD (took 3 months)
It was a long process. I had 3 rounds of interviews. In the first round I met one person, then in the 2nd round 6 and finally in the 3rd round I met 3 people. That makes it 10 individuals individually for 30 min each. I am yet to receive a final response.

Interviewed May 2010 in New York, NY (took 7+ weeks)
Long interview process emcompassing 14 different interviews so far, starting with phone screening, 11 face-to-face interviews, 1 phone interview with manager in London, and 1 final interview with Human Resources. Interviews tended to be technical, with many skills tests including programming exercises, financial questions, and multiple "brain-teasers" testing problem-solving skills. Interviews were mostly with the group in which I'd be working as well as with a few individuals in related groups. There was also some personality screening. Tough interviews in general.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 days)
The interviews consisted of 12 one on one meetings with various levels of management. They varied by style as some were more fit while others were more technical. The fit ones tended to focus on teamwork as well as training junior people. The technical side focused on accounting as well as finance/valuation questions. All in all not that gruelling of a process although preparation is key for success.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Took about a week to arrange the phone interview. The interviewer cancelled it 30 minutes before the interview. I made an effort to reschedule the interview. Interview itself was very short, only like 10-15 minutes. No questions beyond "take me through your resume." From that it was about a week and a half until I received feedback. Feedback was especially rude, condescending, and inappropriate. Did not seem to cover the few points made during the interview.
