Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
Received the call from the interviewer after applying online. Interview consisted of the interviewer telling me a bit about the group. Asked me about my PhD program and my research (the interviewer had researched a similar topic when he was in graduate school). Asked one programming questions, one probability questions, and finished with one finance question.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
I got a couple of brainteasers and questions based on my resumes. I thought I did everything well except one problem, which I had no idea.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
Recently received an email from the recruiter. Just a phone interview. I talked to a Russian guy. His English was difficult to understand. It took me a few minutes to understand what he was really talking about. He first introduced the job functions and then asked me 3 questions. The first was about data structure and algorithm; the second was about implied forward rate and the third was a probability problem.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
I was contacted by a software engineer from the core strategies group through a recruiter. This was an initial screening, so the questions were quite basic, some HR like why would you like to work here, where do you see you self in 3 -4 years, resume walk through, finally ended with two technical questions, one was on data structures, how would you efficiently store last 10 ticks of stock data and the other was what is maximum likelihood estimation

Interviewed Oct 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
First round interview was on-campus. Second round was a day of 1-1 interviews in New York; interviewed with 9 different strategists from various desks for 45 minutes each; most interviews were math (probability & brainteasers) with some programming questions and some finance-related (mostly options pricing) questions. Third round was another day of 1-1 interviews; interviewed with 8 strategists (2 each from 4 desks); similar feel. One follow-up phone interview (again, technical; specifically, computer science questions) for one of the desks later that week. Got the offer about 1 week after the third round.
