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 Dec 2010 (took 1 week)
Detailed communication with a senior advisor from the group. Had a 30-minute interview with her, face to face. Asked the general questions first, and then asked about my CV, recent news, evaluation etc. She was always friendly but kept writing things down. She sometimes side-tracked herself and asked me about things I do in daily life. There were some question which I simply did not know how to answer, e.g. how to evaluate an airport. She was not looking for any technical knowledge but lateral thinking.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The first round interview was relatively easy, and the interviewer was very friendly. He did ask some case interview questions such as 'How many rounds of golf are played in the US each year?'. I made it to the second round of the process and had to take a psychometric/skills test. The test wasn't very difficult but I was ultimately not selected to go through to the next round.

Interviewed Jul 2008 (took 2 months)
The interview process consisted of three rounds. The first round was with someone from HR. Upon passing the first interview, you will immediately asked to take a personality fit test on the same day (lasts about 3 hours). Thereafter a 3rd round consisted of two interviews, each with a panel of two people from the business (funds and/or advisory).
There is clearly a strong focus on fit given the distinct culture. Interviewers are generally more laid back and helpful.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process was not too detailed, but included the basic questions from various levels of management. They had me take a personality test which I thought was ridiculous. COme to find out most of the bankers hired have been let go due to the market downturn. The restrucuturing side is still chugging along, but heard the demise of the banking division.
