Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
I first interviewed on campus and was then invited for a full scale interview at the actual Ropes and Gray office. Both interviews were pretty casual, with the usual "get to know me" questions. The on-site interview involved about 6-7 interviewers plus a lunch. Some of the major questions were "Describe your research in grad school in simple terms" and "Why do you want this job?".
After these questions, the second half usually entailed of me asking them questions. I had to ask a lot of questions, which was helpful because it made me get to know them better. I recommend preparing a large list of questions (~20 questions) so you can have ideas at your disposal.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Most of the topics are introducing the companies and let you ask questions. One of a tough question is to introduce your own work in 5 minutes supposed to a people having no background in your field.
suggestions: do more research for the company and ask good questions and prepare your own stories, try to tell to your friends with different background

Interviewed Aug 2011 in New York, NY (took 1+ week)
I signed up through the on-campus recruiting at my law school, and secured an interview following a review of my resume. The first 30-min interview was very casual and relaxed, and the interviewer was amazing - very friendly and supportive. I secured a "call back" which consisted of a 15-min meeting with my original interviewer who was supposed to be my support for the day - he was fantastic in that he gave me advice on how to handle the interviews for the day. I then had 4 30-min meetings with mid-level associates (1), partners (3), and then a 2 hour lunch with two first year associates. Within 48 hours I was then called and offered the job.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
The interview process was fairly straightforward. I had 5-6 people interview me back to back. Interviewers ranged from partners to associates. This was followed by a lunch/interview first fairly junior technical advisors. The interviews themselves were basically an attempt by them to get to know me as a person and potential employee.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Boston, MA (took a day)
I submitted a resume via a friend working in the New York office. I was contacted a month or so later about a position in the Boston office. I was interviewed first via video phone by a partner. I was asked to describe my research experience in terms a non-specialist could understand. The second part of the interview was with an associate from the Boston office and was more informal. We mainly chatted about research and working at different types of firms. Questions about the job and its responsibilities were encouraged. The interviewers seemed to be looking for a candidate that understood the responsibilities and commitments of a technology specialist/scientific advisor position very well.
