I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jones Lang LaSalle (Pittsburgh, PA) in Mar 2013
Interview
I was first contacted through e-mail by a corporate recruiter, asking if I am still interested in a new opportunity. We agreed on a 30 minute time slot 3 days later, during which we further discussed the company, the role, and future career goals. Corporate recruiter offered me an in person interview at the end of the phone screen.
During the in person interview, I met with 3 managers, and a 6th year Analyst. Very smooth interview process. Felt very conversational, opposed to formal / stern. Took 2.5 hours.
Typical mix of questions, including behavioral ones. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just know exactly what your desired role entails, and be able to elaborate on how your skills fit that mold. Also, know the basics regarding the company's objectives and goals.
As for the skills test, it was very straightforward and overall easy. Simple math, and analytical thinking.

I applied online. I interviewed at Jones Lang LaSalle
Interview
They reach out over email to schedule and then is one round in person where you meet with multiple employees. Was straightforward and very typical for this sort of company
It was well prepared, everything went smooth. The exercise was difficult for me, but it was more about checking my language skills. They gave me a sample lease agreement in Spanish and few questions to answer.
Easy, meet with 3-4 middle management types from the department who all ask you questions they obviously didn't write. Take a test afterward - rumor has it your performance on the test has nothing to do with whether you're offered.
