Interviewed Apr 2012 in Richmond, VA (took 2 months)
Got contacted by a hiring agent after applying on the company website to take a IQ test. Passed that and was contacted again for a phone interview. The turn around time was fast. The phone interview is mostly technical questions as it is for a quantitative position. Make sure to know your basic statistical concepts like mean, standard deviation, etc... Also, make sure you know linear regression concepts. The interviewer was very nice and seemed very laid back.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 1+ week)
Onesite interviews included 1 behavior, 2 cases and 1 roleplay. Each was for one hour.
I think I did pretty well, but was not given the offer. Don't know the exact reason.

Difficult interview. Have case studies that have a lot to do with credit cards. Know the financial aspect, terms, etc. There's also a phone interview with someone from the department you apply for. Didn't do well with cases and didn't get offer for internship.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
A recruiter saw my resume and invited me to apply. First step is an online personality, verbal and math tests, cost 1 hour. a little bit stressful, you have to expect more problems than minutes. I passed the test.
Two days later, The recruiter sent me time slots to choose for a phone interview. I replied and called to confirm. But never reach the person, always be direct to voice mail box. The phone interview never comes.This happened 3 times! There was no problem with my g mail.
When the phone interview schedule came for the 4th time, I don't want to reply any more.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Plano, TX (took 1 week)
I was referred by my colleague in graduate school and received a notice from HR inviting me to take online test immediately. I had personality test, verbal test and quantitative test all in a 2 hour period. Then I got scheduled a interview with a senior statistician. I heard that usually they ask something from undergraduate statistics and linear regression. I was very busy at the time, just picked up a book from library and read through it. The interview did not go very well. I don't remember exactly what I was asked, but I stumbled at general questions like can you go through how to do approach a business problem (cannot remember the exact problem) from the beginning ? I think it is something like you need to know how and where to collect data, how to find variables, how to choose variables, what estimation methods you need to use, and so on.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)
Applied online, informed to take the IQ test 3 weeks later. Passed the test and got an on-site interview one week later. Did not do well on the case interview which is about the credit card promotion. Got a phone call from HR one week later that I have been removed from the list. Need to do more work on preparing the case study interview which from my point of view is the most important factor of getting an offer.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2 days)
I applied online for the position. 2 weeks later, I got an email to notify if i would like to take part in a online test which will cost about 3 hours. I chose yes and began the test immediately. Questions are not that hard but time is so tight. The 2nd day I received another email said I passed. The HR dept will set up a phone-interview shortly. Phone interview didn't go smoothly cause some questions about behaviors are hard to answer. Two days later, I was told not pass their interview.
