Interviewed Jan 2012 in Paris (France) (took 3 months)
The process was not structured, and fairly convoluted. I was first contacted by the headhunter, who set up an initial phone interview. The interview was postponed several times, and dragged on through the holiday season. After it actually occurred, I was then scheduled to meet the manager and his own line manager in a face-to-face interview. The meeting, quite informal, actually involved the line manager, the senior manager, and a third staff who was not directly related to the role.
After that interview there was no feedback whatsoever, neither positive nor negative.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
They call college graduates in San Francisco office and ask them to present themselves regarding why they want to work at Calypso and also they what you their profile is. Then they conduct one hour objective test with Java, OOP and few Unix questions. Then they call for one on one interview where four to five people come and talk to you one after other. Most of them ask normal behavioral questions and not technical. Some of them ask about basic java questions like what is Transient used for, how to implement multi-threading, what is the significance of static and final in java ? Then they ask you a puzzle like if you have a linked list with circle in it then how do you detect that ? You can say you use two pointers and one will move faster than other and if you keep them moving then at some point of time they will point to the same node for an instance. They also have different kind of elevator system in the building. They will ask you why it is the way they have designed. You can say that it is more efficient.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
It was an all day thing. You had to do a five minute presentation about yourself and your interest in the company. It was really easy most of the presentations were horrible. Then you had to take a test about basic finance knowledge, no calculations mostly just vocab stuff and explaining general concepts. Anyone with a class or two in economics or finance would have done fine. Then if you are picked after lunch to continue on there are about 3-4 more 1 on 1 interviews.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took a day)
Very unique interview setup with a required 5-minute presentation and a basic finance knowledge test. Not too difficult and at the management level people seem mature and experience. Only bad experience is that the analysts who interviewed showed no sign of competence and professionalism. Business Analyst also seems like a misnomer for this position as this position pretty much is information technology. The workplace has no dress code and terrible work environment with desks all scattered around. Accept offers from them at your own personal discretion.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
I heard about the company at my university career fair, where I handed in my resume. A week later I was contacted through an email notifying me that I was invited for an information session/interview. The interview consisted of a ppt presentation where candidates provided information about their education and why they feel fit for the job. In addition, candidates had to take a test showing their knowledge of financial markets. Questions included: 1) what is the current Dow Jones level? 2) What is the par value of a bond? 3) What does IPO stand for? After the presentation about 5 candidates were given 1:1 interviews.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
Web-based recruitment. Got an offer for interview, with two weeks to prepare a PowerPoint presentation (introduction to yourself) in front of all the applicants. There were two days/groups for this position. Each group had about 13-16 people. I had to take a test about basic finance, and then do a 5 min PowerPoint presentation. After that, there was a first round of cut. I had to meet with about 5 other employees/recruiters for one on one interviews. I was contacted with an job offer after 10 days.
