Interviewed Feb 2012 in Greenwich, CT (took a day)
The office was pretty much empty and they brought me into someone's office and gave me a math test to take. The questions were like 1/64 as a decimal, 384.65-958.24 no calculator. After going through an informal interview, I realized that the job did not involve the math or any background in finance or economics. They over hyped the role and never called me back or answered any of my emails about whether I had gotten the job or not.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Santa Monica, CA (took a day)
Relaxed interview process. There was definitely multiple interviewers to check personality traits as well as knowledge based. They seem to like me and was pretty down to earth on the interview process. I liked the fact that I related to most of the topics and that actually enjoyed the interview instead of it being a nervous situation. The environment looked clean and comfortable to work in.

I was told by a recruiter to fill out a survey (Predictive Index or PI). Next, I had to schedule by email a series of 1:1 interviews with various people (HR, head of team, group manager). There was a basic math test administer before I spoke to the first interviewer.
HR - fit/general questions
Head of Team - background, fit, some technicals
Group Manager - fit, more technicals

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Greenwich, CT (took a day)
I received a phone call to come in and interview for an administrative assistant position. I was informed prior to the interview that I would be asked basic questions on Excel, Word and other logic-based questions along with mathematics. Totally flunked the exam because the questions asked were vague and irrelevant to the job listing. I do think they do a great job screening highly qualified candidates and I do not blame them however they made the exam process more difficult than needed. The people seemed very intelligent and educated.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Greenwich, CT (took 2 weeks)
Set up interview through employee referral. Phone interview was a 30-minute general interview: What kind of job do you find interesting, past projects and experiences, etc.
Onsite interview was 4 hours long. Started with a written exam, that had questions on Java, Math puzzles and SQL. Lasted an hour. The rest of the time was spent by 2 different interviewers going over questions from the exam in more detail.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
I applied online, a month later I was contacted to take an online exam. The exam was a 90 minutes long, 5 questions in total. They were pure C++ programming questions. I would suggest studying Exceptional C++ by Sutter before taking such exams.
