Interviewed Dec 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
Went through a recruiter, the interview consisted of a phone interview done by the hiring director and then the in person interview was 4 hours long. I met with HR, 3 managers and the director. They knew what they were looking for and the personalities all differed from asking a lot of questions to asking no questions at all.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Did a fairly basic 1:1 interview at university campus. Was very generic, as the normal interviewer was not available so someone from the department came to speak. Very nice person and was able to inform me to great detail about the function of the position. Still waiting, was told I would not hear back until after the new year.

I had an interview with six people. It took around three hours. First interview was with recruiter form HR department. I signed application and agreed on background check. Next three were with managers from fund accounting department. Last one was with two managers from hedge fund accounting. Be prepare for technical question or definition question for last interview. Generally all managers seemed very nice and enthusiastic about their work. They were also very descriptive about the company and the position.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
HR called me and set up an interview the next week. I was suppose to meet up with three managers but they had an emergency at the department and I ended up meeting the Head department. The manager explained the position and asked me the usual questions (situational Q), I wasn't asked any technical Finance/Accounting Q's. I finished the interview in 30 minutes which I thought was too short but to be honest there was nothing more to say. I wasn't asked a lot of the silly questions where they tell you "tell us about a situation where you disagreed with a boss or when you used your creativity and the like!!"
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
It is an entry level position and they offered me the max in the range so I didn't care to negotiate because I know it is fixed and I was satisfied.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
panel phone interveiw to be followed by in person interview.
position was as a fixed income acccounting/it process business analyst to assess if a new software FA package (TPG) was accounting for process flows correctly.
panel consisted of the project manger and a "financial/accounting" sme (subject matter expert).
I prepared by reviewing the accounting litature for hedges/derivatives/ fx accounting etc
interview steps:
1.detailed accounting questions form the sme -- icnluding how you account for bonds and my past experince "setting up" for fasb 91 accounting. NT is going to start full fas 91 accounting. I had little experience with this so that did not go well
2. Next, the Project manager asked about soft ba skills such as how wouldl IA gather requjirements, what steps would i use etc. He also asked about several industry terms used by the fixed income traders. for exsample how would I define volitility if atrader sais he nmeeded a report to include volitility.
therre were supposed to be several others on the con call , but, they had been re assigned to a new project.
they did not pursue it futherr than the phone interview. My understandiong is they were going to use an internal resource or a big three consultant to handle this instead of a contract consultant.

there were 3 1:1 interviews. They were all pretty similar. They went over the day to day process for the position and asked basic interview questions. They also went into what derivatives were and asked questions about them.
