Interviewed Apr 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 1 week)
The hiring/interview process was very smooth and quick. I interviewed with four people, including the VP of the division that I was hired in to. They were very friendly. I first had a phone interview, and then they brought me into the office later that same week. I was offered the job within a few days after that.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Minneapolis, MN (took 4 days)
Got an interview through a staffing agency.
First was a phone interview, where the interviewer asked bunch of BA task related question and I was able to explain all my experiences in last project. It lasted for 30 minutes. got the results by the evening through agency. Second interview was in person in the Minneapolis office on the following week. It went on for 45 minutes. Primarily role playing was done.
Apparently the interviewer didn't liked me elaborating that I do not like to be unproductive and would always want to give my 100% + towards the job. Came to know about this within 2 days of interview.
They respond pretty fast that was a +.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
The interview went very well. The interviewer was polite and gave me a good explanation regarding what business they were into and what was expectations from the position. Nothing outside of my resume was asked and I believe the idea was to evaluate me on the basis of how well I understood my work at previous employers.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took a day)
After applying through the Wells website and my university career center, I was contacted through my university career center about having a 1:1 interview on campus. There was a university alum in the waiting room to answer any questions about her time at Wells or the analyst program - she was incredibly friendly and informative. The interview was a straight forward behavioral interview questions. The interviewers have a list of questions and a form they have to fill out, so the interviewer took notes. The interviewer was enthusiastic and was an alum of the analyst program and was able to answer all my questions. She seemed genuinely interested in answering my questions and listening to my responses.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 4 days)
how do you handle stress, tell me about a situation where there was conflict and how did you handle it, how would you go about learning the job, how familiar are you with tool and methods used in the job. The interviewer was personable and professional and communicated how the hour was to be spent (description of job, interview, then time for questions from me). I perceived the interviewer (hiring mgr) to be very supportive of new employees' learning curves and easy to get along with. I perceive that the group culture is also supportive based on a quick looksee of the office.

Within week of resume submission, was contacted to schedule an interview. At the interview, was asked soft skills questions, such as: how do you handle stress, tell me about a situation where there was conflict and how did you handle it, how would you go about learning the job, how familiar are you with tool and methods used in the job. The interviewer was personable and professional and communicated how the hour was to be spent (description of job, interview, then time for questions from me).

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 3 days)
Started with 30 min phone interview with hiring manager and another team member. Standard questions on RUP but you do need to prepare. Very easy going and conversational. They wanted to interview me in person next day, but waited till following day. Again, hiring manager and different team member for 1 hr with more detailed questions on RUP and soft skills. Very easy going, but not sure how I did. Received an offer that day.

Negotiation Details
I wanted to look at 2 other firms and had an interview set with one. Staffing agency really needed to fill position ASAP, so they hiked up the rate without my even having to ask. I accepted the position partly because of this but also because of the skillset fit.
