Interviewed Feb 2009 (took a day)
It was like the final examination of a college class that you don't really remember taking. And it was all oral. 5 interviewers several hours, an experience I won't forget. However, they did fly me out there, arrange for a car to take me to the airport and pay for lunch. I call it even.

Had a telephonic interview for the FE position. I was asked loads of finance questions spanning the length and breadth of Equity and Fixed income basics. Was also asked programming questions since programming is an integral part in the role of a Financial engineer. The interview well and I have been asked to wait for a few days for the answer after which I will be called to their office for a second round.
