I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KeyBank in Feb 2011
Interview
The phone interview wasn't bad. Went over basic valuation and risk assessment methods. The recruiting staff was very kind. Was invited out for a superday, which was pretty much the same as all other investment banks that I interviewed at. It ended with lunch with top management and was a pretty pleasant experience all around. Each interviewer was told to have a specific focus.
