Interviewed Oct 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)

Interview was quick and dirty-- flew to NY for a 30-minute first round interview and got the rejection the same day; apparently they keep final rounds candidates for a 90-minute interview the next day. Lots of behavioral questions with a Global Markets Director (Ivy League). Lots of "Tell me about a time when...." Great experience but difficult.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in New York, NY (took 1 week)

When to a dinner hosted by DB the night before the career fair and met some of the recruiters. Visited at the career fair the next day and dropped of my resume and applied online. Received an interview for the upcoming week. In the first round was interview by two employees (a manager and a young one that had just graduated from my university). General interview questions about how deal with team work, deadlines, failure, etc. Asked about past projects and times of hardship. Pretty much the same behavioral questions everyone asks. No real technical questions. Was asked what I knew about the Deutsche Bank. Interviewers seemed to be doing a good cop-bad cop thing. Interview lasted about 30 min.

Later that evening I was called and let know that I had made it to the second round of interviews. Which would be the next day. Once again the interview was a 2-on-1. Very similar questions as the first interview. Lots of behavioral questions and no technical ones. Interview lasted about 45 min. Later in the evening I was called and given an internship offer.

They did a 2 on one interview and were extremely rude. I have heard they are a bit sexist toward women, and I definitely experienced that. They basically just short of asked if I could handle the job because I was a girl. One guy was on his blackberry the entire time.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in New York, NY (took a day)

Got the interview through a college recruiting site and was accepted a couple of days later. Interview sign ups were through the site as well. There was a meet and greet with the interviewers and division VP at a restaurant which was nice. The interview was a 2:1 and was very basic, a lot of behavioral and questions about prior experience. After the interview, a month went by without a response until I emailed HR who responded that a decision was being made in a week. Another 2 or 3 weeks went by until I emailed again and I got a phone call extending an offer.

They just picked up the subject from my resume and started asking me question about my coursework. For e.g. Operating systems. They went into depth of the subject.

The interview was for a risk manager position overseeing several portfolio managers. I had the offer through the headhunter and the phone interview was an initial screening with someone from the human resources department. The interview went well but they were looking for someone with more experience, so there was no fit.

I applied to Deutsche Bank online through my school recruiting website. The interview process was very quick. I had a first-round interview with two people, and received a call within a couple of hours informing me that I was going to move on to the next round. They invited me to a reception that night for the candidates moving on, and told me that the second and final round would be the next day. For that interview, I met with two senior managers separately for about an hour each. I was called that day informing me that I had been offered the job.

I came to NY to do a few informational interviews with alums from my alma mater. At DB, there is a lot of networking that goes on with the alums - for a lot of schools that is the key way to get an initial interview. You need to also network within your school (MBA). Talk to all the 2nd years - they funnel the info to alums. Each school (if you're core) has a recruiting team that keeps a tally of who you've spoken with, general impression, etc. That is the key to interview. Final interviews had some technicals but I have found that DB puts a lot of weight on fit/culture - all else equal. People are very down to earth and personable. Once I got the offer, very hard sell. Don't regret accepting offer and joining.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)

Resume was submitted by a recruiter and they ask to interview me in person, with no phone interview. Hiring manager was a bit late, finally went to a conference room and started interview, which was mostly technical. Manager seemed tired and angry because of some other reason than myself. He was a very tough interviewer. Questions were mostly about design, C++ and multi-threading.
