Interviewed Feb 2011 in City of London, England (United Kingdom) (took 4+ weeks)
Everything was very professional, efficient, and high quality - they treated candidates well, in terms of nice building, nice lunch etc.
After an online application and online tests, I was invited for a 2 on 1 interview. This was competency based, fairly straightforward (nothing unexpected), and friendly, relaxed.
The second round had another maths exam, then 2 1:1 interviews - one fairly straightforward (why do you want to work here etc.), and the other was more friendly but a bit more unusual (how would you tell someone they weren't getting a bonus this year). Also had to give a presentation to 1 person, who didn't reveal a thing with her facial expressions!
Be yourself, know the company well (they have some unusual interests e.g. art), and don't be afraid to show a bit of personality! Just always keep it professional, they are quite a traditional firm.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
Interviewers ran over an hour late for previous interviews, so I sat in the waiting area for a while. On campus interview, consisted of a first interview with 2 younger associates. Mostly "fit" questions, asked about stocks I was following. Very pleasant and personable, I felt this part went very well. Then passed on to a hiring manager or something along those lines. Asked what were meant to be "brain teaser" questions, but seemed to be a bit inappropriate in level of difficulty, given that it is an undergraduate internship position. Fairly rude and this part only lasted about 10 minutes.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Essentially, I was sat down with two analysts and then a director. They asked a bunch of fit questions and asked why I was interested. I gave them good responses, and they didn't even bother to ask techinical questions. I would not say this is typical

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Mumbai (India) (took a day)
The process started with a pre-placement talk about the Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) center of Deutsche Bank in Mumbai. This was followed by a written test based on analytical skills. Questions were similar to management exams, however they were pretty difficult for the time allotted. There was a general essay as well.
Based on the test and the candidates' resumes, a preliminary shortlist was created. Each shortlisted candidate was assigned a mentor for preparations for the interview. The "mentor" did actually evaluate the candidate rather than help him.
The final interviews consisted of 2 to 3 rounds, each comprising of a different panel (of 3 interviewers). The questions mainly comprised of analytical puzzles and various HR questions. A justification on joining the finance industry and DB was demanded.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in City of London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
Applied online for Spring into Banking program which would be held in the month of April.
Consisted in 1 round of interviews in London, 3 interviews two of which were competency based and one was technical. Also sat a numerical test at the beginning of the day, similar to the one done online but there were more questions and less time.
Interview Questions
1) Stressful situation
2) Teamwork where you had a different opinion, what did you do and what was the outcome?
3) Teamwork where you had a discussion, how did you solve it?
4) Situation when you had to explain something to someone who didnt understand
5) Something you have to improve and how you're working on it
You are given an Ivy (plant) which is set at the bottom of the wall. This Ivy grows at a rate which is squared the rate of the day before (ie. day 1: 1, day 2: 2, day 3: 4, day 4: 16, etc).
If we buy another Ivy plant, putting it on the opposite side of the wall, which performs in the same way to the first, how much time would we be gaining?
Negotiation Details
No negotiation. Got the offer immediately on leaving the premises.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 2 months)
Had seven rounds over four days. Spoke with folks from rank and file to senior desk heads. Knowing the subject matter made it easy and comfortable. No actual tech-out but more of a conceptual interview. Like any interview you need to know your subject, and come across personable. The smartest people in the world still need to be pleasant to work with.
