Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 1 week)
As an Economics graduate you are likely to have developed a wide range of key skills including numeracy, analysis, verbal and written communication, problem solving, research and presentation. Graduate recruiters in all career areas value these skills as much as your subject knowledge and general intellectual ability.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2 days)
Fairly straightforward interview with questions straight from the Vault guide. One brainteaser where they asked the interest rate for a bond that you pay 10 for today to receive 50 in 4 years. Case interview where they walk you through financial statements and ask you what you think they imply about the company that they speak to you about.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 weeks)
1st stage phone interview:
general c++ questions from all possible areas: constness, inheritance, smart pointers, templates, STL, multithreading etc.
Example: What is 'mutable'? Give an example where you used it.
2nd stage inhouse interview:
Four tasks - I had to write code on paper. The last one was to write tree-related algorithm.
Overall it wasn't difficult, but I failed because I did a few stupid mistakes in a basic questions. So my recommendation would be: review basic concepts and not only advanced.
