Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
The phone interview was the trite list of technical questions,past and current projects. Not too technically deep or testing design. In person interview was better, lasted about 1 hour, covering all topics. Interviewers both on phone and in person were nice.After interview, I got a call from the recruiter all excited, because they liked me. Said it would be a matter of few days before formalities are worked out. 3 weeks later and a couple of follow up calls, no offer, no reject, no news.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
I applied through school career department and interviewed at the school. I just had the one interview and it went well. They told me about their job and proceeded to ask questions about my resume, why I wanted to go into investment banking, etc. Pretty standard stuff with a few brainteaser type questions.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Hong Kong (Hong Kong) (took 2 weeks)
started with a group discussion session where 5 people in a group and gave a presentation at last. followed by a 1-to-2 interview asking competency questions (why investment banks, why credit suisse, etc.), then a 1-to-2 interview on technical questions (programming language used, difference between java and c++, etc.). At last there's a programming interview to write code to solve a simple problem.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Zurich (Switzerland) (took a day)
Informal 20 minute phone interview. Face to face interview on own cost. Face to face was 15 minutes general chat about experience, no competency based questions or detail on technical expertise or understanding. 15 minutes chatting about skiing. In thought it was because I was clearly a good candidate but after working there I realised it was because the manager didn't have a clue. More the fool me.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Pune (India) (took 3 weeks)
The interviews are actually still on - 2 very interesting phone interviews 2-3 weeks ago which i enjoyed very much. The 2nd interview was more of an intelligent discussion where i actually learned something new (like how stack memory is managed in java). Most of the questions were around designing complex scalable systems, multi threading concepts and general designing principles.
But despite 2 delightful interviews, the interviewers didn't have any answers for my questions about role, position and team/product being interviewed for, career growth options, etc saying that they are not the right people to answer this and someone from HR would do that. For the kind of senior position I am being interviewed for, nobody from HR at credit suisse pune or hiring manager has spoken to me yet (in the last 21 days since the interview process started) explaining to me about these things. On top of that, things are simply moving at snail's pace despite HR being aware that I have multiple offers from very good companies for better position than they are offering. Junior HR folks would call just to schedule interviews and I even requested them to have someone senior or hiring manager speak with me. They promised twice they will get back to me but to no avail. On top of that, HR called me today to schedule another interview which is a few days from today and refused to send me a mail or meeting request so that it would show up in my calendar! What use is such a huge HR team at Pune/Mumbai if they do not know how to conduct an interview process for senior folks? I am beginning to feel that I have been wasting my time with them. The interview experience has been frustrating, and insulting, all because of an immature and untrustworthy HR.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Hong Kong (Hong Kong) (took 2 days)
overall, it was a standard behavioral interview that included questions like "describe a time when you demonstrated leadership", "what other firms are you interviewing with", "what are some weaknesses of yours that need improving"-- basically the typical things that you would expect. the key, I've found is to just really focus on making connection with your interviewer. They've had a stream of kids talk about themselves all day, so what I focused on was really making a connection with them as a person.
