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 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 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 Nov 2010 in City of London, England (United Kingdom) (took 3 days)
First interview with Agency, they put me forward for the contract. CV Intially reject for being too technical. However they changed there mind and arranged a phone interview.
Phone interview was very technical and asked well thought out questions. You need to be on top of you area and the skills, make sure you have also reviewed the DB website.
Second interview was in person, some of the questions where the same as the previous and it was clear they had a check list of questions.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
Standard interview procedure similar to the other investment banks. The process began with a multiple choice numerical test followed by three 1:1 interviews with the senior mangement. Questions included why you wanted to work here, your amibitions, leadership qualities and group projects that you were involved with. Although the type of questions asked were fairly standard, interviewees should come prepared with knowledge about the bank's organizational structure and performance in the markets.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 weeks)
I can't remember the initial online application but I think it was just answering standard employer's questions "why do you like the company" I doubt they pay too much attention to this and look more at your c.v.
Due to train problems I was late and by that point a bit deflated, from what I remember it was mostly questions asking about experience, if I had been a team leader, how do I approach a problem. Not much technical content that I remember.
When I got there I realised doing technical work in a bank was not really my ambition and I think they got that impression so didn't receive an offer

Interviewed Dec 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
It was a very nice experince. There were 2 people who interviewed me. Both were so cool and down to earth. The atmosphere was so relaxed. I didn't feel like I was giving an interview. Questions were personality based. They didn't ask me any technical questions. Overall experience was very good and I really recommed this bank.
