Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Interview process was typical. Called in for 1-1 interview. Met with branch administrator. The environment was very professional, and everyone was dressed sharply (better than the Goldman people, actually). Everyone was personable, professional, and kind. They care about quality. It lasted about 15-20 minutes. They are willing to take time in answering any questions.
Dress cleanly.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
Was invited for on campus interview first, which is basically a discussion of your resume. Then got invited to superday at their office location in Jersey. People were great. They changed the interview pattern a little, it's more technical now with a a few written coding questions.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 4 weeks)
Several interviews, with different stakeholders (job would have entailed dual reporting lines), including with head of Asia Pacific, mainly by phone due to different locations. Good interviews, structured, thorough, but little reaction to my questions, inputs and feedback. Also, HR messed things up by behaving as if I had accepted the offer, which I had not and in the end decided not to.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I did not like the dual reporting line structure, which they would not reconsider, and more importantly was not impressed by one of the two future bosses. My view and opinion was vindicated later, when they changed the structure and also diminished the responsibilities of the one person I was not impressed with.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Stamford, CT (took 2 weeks)
I met a recruiter at a conference and later forwarded along my resume because I was impressed by their poise and interest in me. They called me to schedule a phone interview about a week later. It was rescheduled once but they were very professional about it. The phone interview was pretty standard with a lot of questions about my resume and interest in operations. I was called the next day and informed that I was invited to their superday for college students. I went and was very impressed with their facility and their employees. It consisted of three interviews with managers and more questions about my resume and interest in operations. There were no tricky business questions or cases. I found most people pretty engaging and interesting, and almost everyone was friendly, including the other recruits. They called me a week later and made an offer.

Half hour phone interview. Called in for a "Super Day". Turned out to just be 3 individual interviews. Very conversational, nothing tough

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
It was Super Day, 3 half-hour interviews with 3 MDs and a group interview where I was asked to work with everyone else in the team to come up with a solution to a budgeting problem, given 10 minutes. The 1:1 interviews were pure behavioral. The group interview was first time for me as well for them, but it went on well. I just made sure I was being proactive and problem-solving than showing leadership just for the sake of it. For instance, help clarify the questions, supporting other people's ideas, etc.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
I was contacted by the hiring manager who was very nice. He showed interest but said he would get back to me in a few weeks, this is usually a bad sign. However, he did actually follow up and invited me in. The interview consisted mostly of a panel interview lead by the management. I met the entire team and it was made clear that this group functions like a great team.

There really has been none as this is a co-op that pays a set rate.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Stamford, CT (took 4+ weeks)
My interview process was fairly standard. A friend referred me and put in a good word with HR. I had to complete an online profile. This was followed up with a phone screen and 4 in-person interviews. They were in need of someone fairly quickly, so hiring process was accelerated. Key would be to work your network. Without a recruiter or inside connection, it seems difficult to get in here.
