Interviewed Feb 2012 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I was called to do a phone interview from someone from HR. They actually then rescheduled the interview twice before someone called me.
It started out with normal questions about how I heard about the firm and walking through my background/resume. The person then asked about previous past compensation.
I answered all the questions and declined to answer questions about my previous compensation. She continued to press me and effectively became argumentative and critical. I said I was open and happy to consider different salary ranges versus my past. At one point she said that I was being inflexible, which is funny because they rescheduled the interview multiple times with me.
I was highly offended by this person, and the approach they were taking towards potential candidates. I figure they really don't want to pay people that well and this is the beginning of that process. I've read by other reviewers that compensation here is not very good.
Based on my experience, I would not want to work here at all. I was personally insulted by the style of this HR representative.

Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
Phone interview, fairly standard, and asked for a lot of questions on personality/fit based. Came in the next day, 1 on 1 interview with manager, very laid back. HR lady came in next, asked standard HR questions extensively. Not seemed to be interested in whether I actually knew about stocks. I got an offer from somewhere else the next day, and respectfully let them know.

Interviewed Jul 2007 in Chicago, IL (took 3 months)
The process was long. Initially I had to submit a writing sample with my resume. After the writing sample was approved to the next round, I was asked to complete an exam, which was basically an investment analysis on a company Morningstar made up.
At the first interview I met with HR and 2 current equity analysts. This interview was very basic. About a month after the first interview, I was called back to for a second interview and was asked to present a stock idea. At the second interview I met with about 7 or 8 people. This process was odd, people came and left at different times during the interview which I found to be very distracting. The interview process was non-stop for a duration of a few hours as a result of people comming in and out. In other words, you never had that opportunity to catch your breath.
