Interviewed Nov 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
After phone and in person interviews with owner and partners, I had to return for more chats with the owner. It would all be fine if it the process hadn't dragged for over 4 months before finally making an offer. The skills test was a bit ludicrous (so basic) but understandable given many bad candidates out in the market. Due to long wait, I had the impression that the company was a tad disorganized.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Very quick process. They hired me to replace an under-performing manager, but I was told it was due to growth. All interviews were easy, except for the MD who said 'So, welcome. We're Blackstone, who the hell are you?'

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
The interview was pretty laid back and relaxed. Nut too much pressure. The interviewer seemed to be nice. Mostly are fit questions: tell me a bit about yourself, your resume, tell me your experience. Some questions are a bit technical but not so much for the rest of the interview.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I had a great experience. I had a phone interview first that took 30 minutes and was mostly fit. I then had one more slightly longer phone interview, followed by a final interview in New York. I had a chance to meet about 7 of the people I will be working with, all of which were really friendly and easy to talk to.
Some of the technicals were difficult, but the interviewers were very patient and mostly looked at your approach to the problem. I felt like everyone was very open, energetic, and had only good things to say about working there. One of my best interview experiences.
