I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ING Direct
Interview
Asked the group to come in for an informational session. It's well structured with good information of the pros and cons of working for ING. After the session, you sign up for a first interview, and if you are called back after the first, you are asked to sign up for your final interview. The process itself is not tremendously time consuming, but seems to be efficient.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ING Direct (Philadelphia, PA) in Oct 2010
Interview
I met the recruiters at an on-campus career fair. There seemed to be several students who had also been invited for interviews. At the interview session (about one week after the fair), they met with a whole group of interviewees then two 1:1 interviews. Their behavioral questions were intended to figure out if you could cope with starting down a very slow path to success but eventually weathering the storm. I decided that financial consulting wasn't for me.

For the entry level, I had a phone interview. Three days later, I had a 1:1 interview with a manager. He asked me general questions such as why I applied to ING Direct, why I was interested in finance and what positive outcomes I would bring to the company etc. It only took 1 hour and then he called me a week later and offered me a job.
