Interviewed Nov 2011 in Philadelphia, PA (took 2 weeks)
Two rounds of phone screening. Roughly 75% quantitative, 25% behavioral by time. On site was similar questions to those posted here, but in a stressful environment. Think interviewers standing up, talking among themselves while you think, and using their phones. Still are helpful when you ask a question, and listen when you think out loud, but nonetheless don't underestimate the need to be able to think under high-preszure environments

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Dublin, County Dublin (Ireland) (took 2 months)
My first interview was on the phone with a member of HR. She asked me basic questions about myself and about 4/5 probability questions. I got a call within the week to offer me a second telephone interview. This one was with a trader so was after the working day and took about 45 minutes. Got asked about 6 probability questions and talked about my cv. Got offered a final on site interview. Apparenty it lasts an hour and a half which the same structure as the last two.
The interviews are tough and stressful but there isn't much preparing to be done. The interviewers were lovely.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Philadelphia, PA (took a day)
I managed to visit the Philadelphia office last year. Brilliant office, great academic environment, nice people. Poker is heavily emphasized in training traders.
Application was straightforward.
Interviewer was pleasant and casual. Started with behavioral questions, then walking through resume to check your vital signs, then conditional probability questions. The probability questions started easy and got progressively harder until some fairly complex ones on pricing games.
Interview Questions
a) What is the fair price of this game?
b) Now, after picking a card you can either take the dollar value on the card or $3.50. Also, cards worth less than 5 are now valued at $0. What is the maximum price you are now willing to pay for the game?
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Philadelphia, PA (took 4+ weeks)
First they come to the career fair and gather resumes and make down whether or not they like you. Then they come and do on campus interviews which are mostly math based questions. Then you have a phone interview followed by a final round interview in Philadelphia
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I would make sure you look at their non compete agreement. Also when trying to convince you to join they will tell you about the average salary. However, it is important to ask them about the median because that number could be skewed by one or two high fliers and survivor ship bias.
