Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Applied online via their Careers website. It took about one or two weeks before they sent an email regarding my application. I was invited to come to their office for a 1:1 interview with the IT Manager. I was also asked to take the Psychometric Exam which was very difficult. After passing that exam, I had an interview with the IT Head which was very informal. Office looks great although I didn't really had a grasp of the people and the work culture.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
They asked me some behavioral questions. Expect to do your research about the company. There was a series of scenario questions involving IT and its infrastructure that weren't too difficult. There were three rounds of group interview with HR and the group that you would be working with. The interview were spaced out and the interviewees supportive.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 weeks)
First round telephone interview with HR: fairly straightforward consisting of "tell me about yourself" type questions and examples of leadership, working under pressure etc. Make sure you have these examples prepared.
Second round AC: in London offices. Around 4 hours consisting of computer-based tests on verbal reasoning, numerical skills and psychometric assessment.
Final Interview: 2 interviews. First with Senior VP and Associate Director. Very relaxed, cracked jokes and barely touched on technical stuff. Much more of a "do we like you"/airport test style interview. BUT: Varies a lot from team to team. Other candidates in other teams had far more technical interviews.
Interview process seems quite ad-hoc. While working there, interviewees and would be waiting and team MD would come and ask any two members who are free to go and interview - i.e. not very well planned. Other candidates taken on tour of office during interview.
Second interview was with Analyst and Associate. Slightly more technical but nothing too difficult - no maths. etc.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 6 days)
Created a login for your application and submit your personal information, division preferences, CV and Cover Letter . Received a call 4 days later to have an interview the next day. The Interview consisted of behavioural questions (eg. tell me about a time you worked in a team), brain teasers (eg. what is the degrees between the hour and minute hand when the time is 3.15), and finance questions (eg. how would you value a coal mine). Also asked what my favourite subjects were at University and why.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Interviewer a tad intimidating, he started off by asking behavioral questions, why macquerie, why banking, and then he started asking me brain teasers like, square root 100000, what's 99*99, etc... Then he asked me what are the news I am following, and asked me which class I like most. He also asked me which specific division I want to work in, I think I screwed on this one...

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 3 weeks)
First interview was with HR, mostly fit questions. Second round was several hours long, with three 2:1 interviews. Mix of questions including resume, personality & fit, and finance questions. The finance questions were fairly difficult, e.g. "How would you value a casino?"

Interviewed Feb 2011 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
Group pannel interview with two mid-range employees. Questions were fairly typical for investment banking interviews- accounting, basic valuation. Second round was a superday in their NYC office. Two interviews with fairly senior people. One was more quantitative one was more soft. Quantitative focused on basic math, speed and confidence. One of their main focuses was where you see yourself in 10 years and what you have been doing to reach it.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Central District (Hong Kong) (took 2 months)
After online application for the role, got a immediate response for a 1:1 interview with HR, the interview was basic, self introduction, past employment and some behavioural questions.
Second round of interview was with local reporting manager.Questions were similar to first round, wtith lot of
behavioural questions..
a) Why did you apply for this role? Why Macquire?
b) What is career goal for next 5 yrs?
c) Reasons for leaving previous employers?
d) Toughest situation that you have faced in your previous roles and how did you handle?
HR was pretty quick giving the feedback after each round, though the process took long.
Third round was the psychometric examination. Its a online test, takes almost 2-3 hrs.
After the test, didnt get any response for 2.5 weeks, then I sent a mail requesting for feedback.
After 3 days I get a reply saying, I have been short listed along with few other candidates and next round with the head office (Sydney). I waited for 3 weeks, no reply. I did send a follow up mail., still no reply.
In the man mean time I got a another offer, which I accepted.
The recruitment process so slow, it annoys you. At times, you tend to loose out on other opportunites waiting for the one which you are not sure of. I was very disappointed with the interview process and I gave up on this one.
