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.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
It was an on-campus interview that consisted of a 2:1 interview with two directors in the Investment Banking group. One was much older than the other and both are alums of the college I attend. They asked me what my cummulative and major GPA was, even though it was right in front of them on my resume. They asked if I had any prior experience in the finance industry and I referred them to the two finance-related internships on my resume. The younger interviewer asked me the tough questions. He assumed I had strong knowledge of corporate finance ( because I did have finance-related experience but I only interned at an insurance company and a hedge fund), and began asking me questions about financing such as mezzanine debt, and senior debt, I had heard of both but couldn't tell them many specifics. After I gave unsatisfactory answers he went on to ask me discounted cash flow analysis, and although I am familar with it, I was not confident in answering his questions, so I said, "I have an idea of what it is and when it is used, but I could not give you a confident answer. However, if you gave me a few minutes to learn it, I know I could master it". They said that was a good enough answer. They asked me about the athletic teams I had been on and how much effort I put into training. The younger interviewer then asked me very specific questions about current economic events, specifically the European debt crisis. He asked me to summarize the events taking place in Europe and why it happened. I know a good amount about the situation, but each answer I gave he would challenge me in my answers and then ask me even more specific questions. The interview was around 30 minutes long and ended with me asking a few questions about Deutsche bank and a few industry specific questions. Overall I thought the older guy was nice and maybe that was because he gave me the softball questions. The younger guy was arrogant, but to my knowledge he is a rising start at the i-bank.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Jacksonville, FL (took 3 weeks)
I submitted my resume and cover letter through the law school's symplicity website but this was not the regular on campus recruiting process. This was only one employer coming to interview students and alumni at the law school. The law school handled the arrangements and students picked their appointment time through simplicity once Deutsche Bank decided which day they wanted to have their interview. They brought in 2 people to handle the interviews, a woman and a gentleman from their Jacksonville, FL office. The woman was from their legal department and the gentleman is responsible for managing the office in Jacksonville. They were nice, friendly, congenial. They explained the responsibilities of the position for which they were hiring. They asked a few questions about my background. And they listened to my explanations and answeredmy questions. I have not heard back yet. The interview was this week.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
What do you know about the bank and the industry?
Walk me through your CV?
What issue/journal do you follow?
Tell me a recent topic that interest you.
What does it affect DB?
Then he digs deeper and deeper into the issue I was talking about.
The whole interview was very pleasant and I actually enjoyed talking to the interviewer(who is a member of the finance team, quite senior I would guess) He has expressed a fairly big interest in me and said he is anticipating to inviting me to the next round which would happen in the following week. But i should also mention that i was supposed to be interviewed by two interviewers instead of one, the other interviewer got stuck in the morning traffic. She didn't arrived until I finished my interview. I don't know if it is because I was the only one who hasn't been assessed by the two interviewers together, I received rejection after 3 days(not as the interviewer promised which I was supposed to hear from then within 24 hours)

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 3 days)
Pretty usual behavioral/fit type questions with a slight mix in of technical questions (valuation and such). Interviewed for the first round on-campus and was called in for the second round, also on campus, which consisted of two interviews with two highly-ranked officials in the company. The last two did not go so well, so did not get the offer.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Jacksonville, FL (took a day)
First I was emailed to schedule a phone interview. The human resources representative call right on time and the questions she asked were almost entirely in regards to my professional background. About a week later I was scheduled for an in-person interview at the Jacksonville campus. Multiple interviewers came in and out while I was speaking which appeared to be a sloppy distraction technique or at worst poor planning. As with the phone interview most of the questioning was focused on background, however there were some behavioral questions asked.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 3 days)
Applied through my college website, got selected for the first round of interview on the campus. The questions were related to projects on the basis of projects I have done during my work and also the academic projects. Got selected for the next round, which was on campus again the next day.
The questions were more on the technical and behavioral in nature. The interviewers were knowledgeable.
Was put on hold after the interview and after few follow up emails was told they could not hire me :(
