Interviewed Feb 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
Spoke to the head of the Purchasing of Finance department which was good to be able to ask questions straight to the head instead of going through people. Some questions were about University and why I took my Economics course and then why I would be a good fit for the of Finance Analyst. There was the ability to move around the company which was good, but most of the positions required to have a Masters degree.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Asked me working experience. However, the job description the HR gave to me was not clear.
HR didn't deliver some msg to senior manager who interviewed me later. It seems that they are lacking communication, kinda made me not know what to say during the phone interview.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in West Valley City, UT (took a day)
the interview was not so different from other customer service interview as along as asking personal experience Interview question. They ask your behavior side of the question and the ethical relation questions however, they did not ask anything else other than those. In terms of technical questions or logical based analytic questions were not asked.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 1 week)
Applied on-line through their website. Phone interview with the recruiter who called the next day to schedule the phone interview. One week later was called for face-to-face with 2 managers (hiring and support). They described in detail the skillsets they were looking for in the answers to their questions, then proceeded with the questions, some around describing projects generated on your own, what prompted you to begin them and what were the results. Others around difficult group situations encountered, what happened and how was it handled. Very thorough and professional.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
Applied online through on campus recruitment system in addition to their job posting system online. Interview was 2 45 minute interviews back to back with 2 Directors. Both had joined the firm after getting their MBA and had been with the company 4-5+ years. Very structured interview as they literally read off a script and took notes on everything I was saying. Both interviews started off with a basic tell me about yourself and then transitioned into the structured portion where all questions were taken from the bullet points of the job description. For example, one of the bullets was "Ability to manipulate and synthesize financial data and draw meaningful conclusions" and the interview question was "Tell me about a time you had to manipulate and synthesize financial data and draw meaningful conclusions." Other than that, basic fit interview questions - teamwork, conflict, etc. Quick turnaround as I had the interview on Tuesday and they told me on Thursday that I did not get to the next round. Both were very friendly people that I enjoyed meeting with.
