Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 2 weeks)
2:1 interview surveying my experience, qualifications, interests; even hobbies. I recommend conveying a good mix of qualitative/quantitative abilities with an emphasis on the former, as it is a writing position. They also want to see that you can communicate effectively and are decent to be around. They will review your writing ability, most likely through your cover letter and a writing submission of your own.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
I found the job on LinkedIn and submitted my resume without sending the required cover letter or writing sample. About a week later I got a phone call asking me to send them a writing sample. About 3 days after that, I got another phone call asking me to come in for a face-to-face interview. I first met with the senior analyst of the UK/HK team. It was really laid back and chill and we talked a little bit about my resume and about what the Company does and what the responsibilities of the position are. That lasted like 10 minutes. Then I met with the two junior analysts at once and that interview portion lasted a little longer and focused more on my resume and skill set, and they asked me other behavioral questions. Then I had to take a 15 minute writing test to show my writing and reasoning skills. It was really easy.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
The interview was pretty quick, maybe 20 minutes total. And the first half was just the interviewer explaining the company and job position. That was a little concerning, and a little nerve-racking because I didn't want to just sit there nodding my head. There were some pretty basic questions about my background, describing any relevant experience, how I felt about performing certain job skills, etc. They were especially concerned about my ability to work under a close deadline.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I applied online, and then got a phone call about an interview. The interview was straightforward and the environment is very friendly. The interviewer asked about my background, professional experience, whether I understand the company's industry or not...etc. Then he explained the skills test, which is basically material you read in your native language and then answer questions from this material, but the answers are in English.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
15 th floor and E welcomes you. after she make sure every paper is filled and signed at the interview room, she lives and you wait for your interviewer. another nice lady comes in and the interview starts with some basic questions about you. she explains you a little bit about the job and than the real test begins. you are in front of a pc with two monitors. on one you have information doc in foreign language and on the other monitor you have questions in ENG and should answer in ENG. so basically question are pertinent of the doc in monitor one. read the doc in foreign language and answer in english. test 2 is about writing an essay about a given issue. again, you get a lot of ideas by reading the doc in foreign language. that is all. the ambiance is ok. lots of pc's around and looks like a call center but its not. good luck.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
Because I didn't have a finance background, I was asked about what the company does and what was proxy research. Because my answer wasn't sufficient, the interviewer elaborated on what exactly their company does. I was asked a lot on my background and my Chinese skills, because the job requires advanced understanding of both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Then he gave me a test and told me to orally translate 1) a legal document in Simplified Chinese, and 2) a finance document in Traditional Chinese, on the spot.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took a day)
Straight forward interview. Interview was with 2 research analysts together, and then one senior research analyst afterwards. It was a casual friday, I wore a suit while they wore street clothes, felt kind of strange, but the interviewers were very relaxed and down to earth. They questions that they asked was mostly focused on my background, jobs I had in the past, and about my education.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
I was called about three weeks after submitting an online application and asked to schedule an interview the following week. When I appeared at the office on the day of the interview, I was brought into an office off the main working floor for a one-on-one. After discussing my resume, I was given a skills test to verify I could understand and translate the laws of the foreign market which I would be researching. After a week the Company made me a job offer by e-mail, contingent on passing a background check.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took a day)
I found the job online. The people that interviewed me were very personable, friendly. I had to prove my skills, but even that was OK. What I didn't like: the job that they presented when I was there was very different than what the ad said, they wanted to pay far, far, far less than the fair market rate (think: basically retail wages for a job that requires an advanced degree), they promised to get back to me by a certain date and I never heard from them again.
Considering how they dug into my privacy with their bg check, I think a simple email saying "No, you did not get the job" would have been a basic courtesy and not too difficult to accomplish.
