I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Tokyo) in Jun 2012
Interview
Phone call with two engineers, explained what the job is about, what they are looking for and the environment. The difficult part was that it's hard to ask some very technical questions over the phone, and hard to answer them. Try saying "dot space slash script name". Some questions are just not suitable for the phone that well.

Interview
Three telephonic round and one on campus round. The on campus itself had 3 rounds. The telephonic rounds included more data structures questions and big O notation. Few DBMS questions. Overall easy.
The first round interviewer went through my resume. He asked about basic java questions and on Spring MVC related questions. Later it was more on general algorithmic questions.
