Interviewed Feb 2011 in Oaks, PA (took 5 weeks)
Applied for the position online. Received an invitation to interview at the company. Full day affair consisting on a tour of the campus, a Q&A session, and four one on one 30 minute interviews. The environment is very laid back and they questions are not very difficult to answer, some behavioral but also things like "What do you like about SEI". Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Be open and stress how well you will fit into their culture; they really pride themselves on it.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Oaks, PA (took 4+ weeks)
They contacted me via e-mail and asked me to come for an interview day. The day consists of 1 on 1 interviews that are 20 minutes long, and you rotate through about 4 people. It's very easy because they all basically ask you the same questions, and they're very nice. All background/interest in the job questions. Everyone was very nice

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Collegeville, PA (took a day)
The first interview consists of a 4 hour day at the SEI offices in Collegeville, PA. You are first taken on a tour of the large campus where SEI resides as they tell you all about the unique things they have done to make their culture unique. This is done in a group, which was about 15 people when I was there.
Then you return to a room where current employees answer any questions for the group in an informal atmosphere. Everyone takes a quick break afterwards.
You are then assigned 3-4 different recruiters to have a 15-25 minute 1:1 interview with each and talk about your background and personality to see how you would fit into the firm. After this grueling process you are finished with your first round interview.
I would recommended maintaining communication with the liaison to which you are assigned because there are many applicants walking through their doors each day.
You should note that there was no technical questions regarding the position I applied for (business analyst).

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Oaks, PA (took a day)
The interview process was lasted around 6 hours at company headquarters. It is a semi-informal, but structured setting comprised of touring the office campus, learning about SEI as a whole, and then 3-4 1:1 interviews. If I remember correctly, the entire process lasted from 10am-4pm.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Oaks, PA (took a day)
The company has a great feel to it. Seemed very laid back. The interview process was fairly easy. I thought it went well, however I soon got the impression that I was just filling an interview quota as the job was taken off the site the next day.
