Interviewed Mar 2012 in Basildon, East of England, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
First: A paper version of the online numerical test you taken, then a paper version of abstract reasoning test you took online, plus a multiple choice personality test (not taken online) .
Second: 1:1 Interview with HR , then 1:1 with an Engineer/IT guy, both are behavioural and not technical. Although for my case, it's a 2:1 interview (the HR/IT guy combined interview) since they are running out of time.
Third: A group disussion similar to other assessment centres.
Fourth: A Presentation. You are given a topic 1 week in advance, you are then required to do a presentation on it. My topic is: "How can I apply my what I learnt from my degree to the job". You have to present this to a panel of senior managers.
Travel costs not reimbursed.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Applied online through their website, a few days later I was sent a link for an online test. Just the usual numerical/verbal/abstract reasoning thing. There wasn't really anything special about it. A day after this I received a phone call asking when I would be free to go to their assessment centre in Essex. They do not pay travel expenses but provide a nice cold buffet lunch. I was also asked to prepare a presentation on financial services and social networks. Once there I had yet another verbal and numerical reasoning test, an interview with someone from HR and someone from the IT department. There was then a group task which I found very difficult. After this I gave my presentation and took questions from a group of senior staff.

Chat with development team lead as well as hiring manager. Team lead asked questions about my past experiences, and asked me several questions about java. Talked about the company a bit and I talked about my expectations. Went fairly well.
