Interviewed Mar 2012 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 1 week)
Received an email to set up an interview at their location in Toronto for a contract position. The interview consisted of 2 parts: a technical portion with 3 analysts and a behavioral portion with someone from HR. The technical portion involved coding MATLAB on paper and an object-oriented design question. The HR portion was mostly focused on why I was interested in the investment sector even though I was coming from engineering. They didn't seem interested in anything else.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2 weeks)
They were very personable and accommodating. There was a phone interview, then an on-site interview. The technical questions were not very challenging, but then this may be because I was recommended by an employee, and the high reputation of the company I was coming from. The interviewers give a sense of being very open and honest. The company places very high value on work/life balance.
