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.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Oaks, PA (took 3 days)
Interview consisted first of two 1 on1 interviews on my campus in which only basic questions were about your experience and background. I got the feeling they just wanted to see what kind of person you are and if you'll "fit" into their culture. After that I was invited to an interview at their headquarters in Oaks, PA. It was an all-day process with five separate 20 minute interviews. Again, it did not seem too intimidating despite the back to back interviews. Overall, although I didn't get an offer, the culture at SEI seemed very inviting and down to earth with less visible hierarchy than most companies.

Interviewed Jul 2007 in Oaks, PA (took 3 days)
It's sort of like the Spanish Inquisition. A number of peers, superiors and subordinate positions grill you on a variety of topics depending upon their whim. In general, they are trying to see if you'll fit in their culture, which is unique. It is an environment of consensus where no one makes decisions yet they all claim to be entrepreneurs. They also pride themselves on being bright, yet they are the first to admit that the bar is set fairly low. Be prepared during the interview to focus on the interviewer.
