Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
I got an interview call for super logistics day. There was a big conference room where number of interviewers were present. I was there along with 6-7 interviewees. HR told us to go to a particular interviewer for the interview. There were four interviews, each of 30 mins happened in the conference room. All interviews were HR interviews and hardly any technical stuff was judged. Followed by 4 interviews, there was a skill test where all technology related questions were asked. (C, C++, C#, JAVA, .NET, Oracle, Sybase, SQL)

It was very market based. I was asked a lot about commodities (gold, oil and natural gas) as well as about the yield curve. Make sure that you are up to date about Current events. Very little behavioral.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 3 days)
Lots of phone calls with recruiter and HR. Detailed interview with a recruiter who was a fill-in for the head of recruiting. She claimed I was the best candidate and perfect for the job. Next step was to meet with the CTO. That never happened because she didn't follow through. Repeated requests to her by phone or email were never returned.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Interview was really strange. She was munching on something the whole time and people kept talking to her. She even asked me to hold on in the middle of a sentence at one point to talk to someone. I understand that she works in Sales and Trading and that it is a very market driven position/field, but it was definitely rude. She asked me about my resume and didn't really seem interested and didn't comment or ask follow up questions on anything. She asked me why Sales and Trading and then asked me to talk about something I had seen in the news/markets. I mentioned the Euro Debt Crisis and she asked me what i think is going to happen to the currency/ exchange rate. I said depreciate and she said actually some people think that as the countries drop out of the euro that the currency will appreciate. This was a weird comment considering that there has been no serious mention anywhere of countries dropping out of the union. I said, oh that is an interesting view. She said that yeah, but obviously right now they'll depreciate. Then she asked if i had any questions and i asked about her background. Interestingly she went to my small women's college, but didn't mention any of that until i asked! I thought that was pretty bizarre because we probably had many of the same classes/professors/clubs. I didn't get any response to my thank you note and no offer to come back for a super day.
Oh and also weird, I had two options for the interview the day before thanksgiving or the day after. I thought that was a little weird because those are big traveling days and because we still had classes all day that Wednesday before the holiday.

The interview went very well, was told i was over qualified for the positiont and within a few hours got a call from a different area. The interviewer passed my resume along to a department she felt would better suit me. I now have an interview there in a few days.
