The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Acquity Group (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2011
Interview
One HR Interview, followed by an interview with Engagement Manager and then in person interview with three people. In person interview had a written test, where one is given 15 minutes to write on a topic. Mine was, where technology will be in 5 years down the line. The inperson interviewers were - Portfolio Director, Engagement Manager and a Manager. They were each looking into different aspects at my skill sets.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Acquity Group (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2010
Interview
I met with managers, senior execs, and subordinates or peers during the interview process. Questions on my resume and background, nothing too unusual, all pretty standard stuff. They expect you to know the technology on your resume, bring your "A" game, if you say it, you better be able to back it up, you will get called out on it if you try and fudge anything whatsover. The whole company is filled with really smart, bright people, and the interviews can be long and painful, which they then meet as a team or committee to discuss each candidate in depth, internally. The most unusual part of the interview process is that they provide you with a blank laptop and you are asked to write a short essay, the topic was something along the lines of "What role will technology play in the future?" or "What does technology mean to me?". They are asking more because they want to see that you can formulate thoughts and express them well in writing, rather than what technical knowledge you are able to write down.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Acquity Group (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2010
Interview
Started off as a typical interview. I was then given the choice of about 6 different case studies to choose from. I only had to answer one. The case study was easy enough, although because I was nervous I missed an important point. They are really big on knowing a lot of information about the company before the interview.
