I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs in Sept 2009
Interview
Very focused on skills, intelligence, ability to think quickly. "Test to fail" type of interviews. They made sure to question everything on my resume. Few "fit" questions, but it pays to practice this type beforehand anyway, to ensure you aren't caught off guard. No weird behavioral type tricks the way I've heard some firms utilize.

Question 1
Using the market prices of vanilla euro calls struck at various prices with identical expiry construct the price for a given euro option with the same expiry
it was great and quite competitive and consisted of multiple stages including an initial recruiter phone screening, a rigorous technical coding assessment testing data structures, followed by several consecutive deep-dive behavioral interviews with senior leadership.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs
Interview
The process involved over 10 rounds of interviews over several days with people of different levels. After first round of several interviews within the same day, have to wait before notification about the next round
