Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
Starts with resume drop, if your resume gets the nod, then it's a phone interview with an analyst. It's mostly fit, getting to know you, with some technical questions. If it all works out, then it's onto the second round superday at the office in which you're applying for. It's a 4 hour affair at superday with back-to-back interviews with multiple individuals at the firm, ranging from senior bankers to junior bankers. Depending on the person, it'll either be fit based or technical based. It's a pretty relaxed process, as relaxed at it can be for an investment banking position that is. After the superday, you'll find out within a week or two.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
I bet the company at a career fair and I was flagged for an interview on campus. They asked a lot of quantitative questions ranging from simple questions like calculate a DCF, how do you value a company, what are the different financial statements, to harder questions like which line items are effected by depreciation. There was also a behavioral aspect to it.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 6 weeks)
After jumping through all the hoops required for a position I was overqualified for, found out I didn't get the job when I saw it reposted on a popular job board, didn't even have the common courtesy to inform me by phone or even email.

Interviewed May 2007 (took 2 weeks)
It was your typical corporate process... more time discussing the job description (which is easily known beforehand) and no time discussing environment, other ways to contribute, etc. Too much talk with people that you wouldn't be working with daily...
