The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Citi (New York, NY) in Nov 2011
Interview
Only 2 rounds (although I may have been fast-tracked bc of connections.) 1st round interview via phone is entirely fit. 2nd round is a 3 part interview where you meet with 3 pairs of their PB team. All of them have their fit components, with 1 being slightly more technical, and the other 2 being more experience based.

Tell me about a weakness?
How would you invest £100 of my money?
After completing the Early ID program, I was given the opportunity to interview with Citi. After going through the interviews I never heard another word... despite the 4 months in Early ID that I spent building relationships and learning about the business. Didn't even get a call to say I didn't get the job. Very disappointing..
