Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 months)
Initial introduction through a recruiter. SVB had me fill out a questionnaire with 10 questions or so, mostly why you think you would be a good candidate for the position. Next step was a phone screen with HR, fairly standard, really nice. Asked typical questions, "Why SVB", "Why this city", "Tell me about your background", "Please explain what you did at Company X." Since I was out of state, they wanted to schedule another phone screen with a MD. They took a while, but I eventually got an in-person meeting with them instead. In person interview with a Sr. Director and an MD was ok. Mostly asked about my current/past experience and what I know about SVB. Be prepared to answer some technical questions on the whiteboard. Know everything about 409A valuations since that is 90% of what they do. They don't pay for travel expenses or (if offered the position) do not provide a relocation package.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 3 weeks)
Had initial phone interview. Then met 1:1 with would-be boss, and then meet with various other members of the group. Entire length of process was about three weeks. Great people, and a great experience, but it wasn't the right fit for me.
