Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Had a phone interview several weeks after applying online...later than most of the other investment banks had already dished out offers or said no. Analyst asked me general questions about interests (why investment banking? past internships? blah blah) and then guided me through basic technical questions (two similar companies, different P/E's...why?). Thought I did OK. Followed by a Super Day 4 days later, which had 3 interviews---one more fit, and two more technical

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 3 days)
Since I am studying in the States and the job was in Hong Kong, I went through 3 phone interviews. The first two was with the MD and the VP. These were more casual. They asked me basic questions, walked through my resume and told me about what it would be like to work there. I thought I did pretty good on these two but the third phone interview with the Associate stopped me from going further. I suppose when they assign their employees to interview candidate, they specified what they were responsible for (i.e., technical or behavioral). I think the Associate was responsible for technical because he kept drilling me on what kind of quantitative analysis I have used in the projects I did. If there are methods he mentioned but I never used, I will try to convert the topic and bit but he wouldn't buy it. He would just keep asking if I used some other valuation.

Interviewed with an associate and vice president. Followed the typical IB protocol: walk me through your resume, tell me about yourself, and then some technical questions, and lastly some time for questions.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
Pretty standard. I had 1 first round interview on campus where the guy asked me pretty standard stuff. Some basic personal questions in addition to having some technicals - valuation methods, pitch a merger etc. Got called back the night of and had superday the next day. Had 2 one-on-one interviews for superday. Again, some valuation methods, including walking through a DCF and knowing the pros/cons of each valuation. There was also a stress test and that was rather awkward.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
Didn't know much about investment banking, came from Math/Econ background so figured why not try it out? Waited in lobby for interview for very long time, they finally came out to get me 45 minutes later. Asked basic detailed accounting and valuation questions, questioned my commitment to banking given my lack of an i-banking internship. Pretty much told me they were looking for someone with more experience right there in the room. Didn't get 2nd round.
