The process took 3 months. I interviewed at KeyBank in Mar 2008
Interview
I was contacted by HR who first did a brief screening phone interview which included Why Key? etc. After the screening interview - I had couple different phone interviews with different team members. Questions were very basic - included behavioral questions of your role in team setting? why IB? and technical questions on valuation techniques, LBO model, what type of company would be a typical LBO candidate etc. Several weeks later, I was called in for a face to face interview which was an all day event with high level managers - MDs, Group Heads etc and included lunch with HR.
Face to face interviews were very simple - only behavioral and getting to know you.

Question 1
Question about LBO modeling and type of companies that would be a good LBO candidate
Multiple rounds. Process took about a month and a half. Behavioral and technical questions that were pretty standard. Nothing else to add, I would prepare as you would for any other interview.
Met with multiple parties, phone interviews beforehand. Very relaxed environment but maybe too many interviewers. It was a good process to ensure both a mutual fit and better understand the company prior to making a decision
