Interviewed Aug 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
Several phone interviews with two team members I would have been working closely with. After those went well, was flown out to have full day of interviews in the main office.
Interviewed in person by HR rep, Technical Lead, and Co-CEO. Was offered lunch, desert, coffee, you name it. Received tour of office. Received offer before leaving.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Did some digging and found out the company was actually dishonest in answering some of my questions which caused me to question their reliability and integrity.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 3 weeks)
They ask difficult questions, I think they're looking for those freak genius types that can answer any brainteaser on the spot - only hire Caltech/Harvard/BYU people from what I can tell.
Sent in my resume through their website, received an email asking for a phone interview. The HR person forgot to send me the interview confirmation, but that's not a huge deal as we had already agreed on a time.
1st round wasn't too tough - the clock hands questions, plus some others described below. Interviewer was very nice and gave compliments on my quick solutions.
2nd round was ok until the second question, which I struggled with greatly. The interviewer was very patient and nice in helping me work out the solution, which took me over 30 minutes since I felt kind of stuck. As soon as we got the correct answer he said "thanks for calling, we'll be in touch" and hung up. I could tell he was amused by how long it took me to get the answer. (FYI this question is the chessboard one below). I haven't officially heard back yet but there's no way they'll want to fly someone out if it takes so long to get a solution at the phone interview stage.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
First interview was with over a phone with a member of HR team. I was asked why I decided to apply to this particular company and for this particular position. After that I was asked a few basic statistics questions. I did quite well and was invited for a second phone interview, which was with a trader. The second interview consisted of similar general questions (why this company? why this position?), and a few more complicated stats questions. I have answered all questions correctly, but probably was giving answers too slowly. Didn't get through to the next round.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Sydney (Australia) (took 1 week)
I applied online in their website. Got a call from a trader (located in their California HQ) on the next day about a possible phone interview with HR in the following week. The interviewer called me 30 minutes early
without any explanation or apology. He seemed utterly disinterested in me from the beginning. Asked me why I wanna be a trader and then asked me three probability/logic questions. I answered all of them correctly but made a calculation mistake at first in one of them, fixed that immediately after he pointed that out. All of my questions about the company/role were answered with minimal words and he was keen to show me his lack of interest. Got the rejection email on the next day.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
Email communication with the HR was poor to start with, unprofessionally handled the time zone difference and never confirmed the exact time of the interview, left me to guessing the time of interview. The interviewer called in 20 mins late, and made no apology at all. He asked me how much I know of the company, I told him the things I read on their website (which is very limited) and some news I read recently. The response was flat and dry. So I asked him to tell me more about the company and the role, he said nothing more than what I told him and started waffling that the role requires analytic and communication skill, but not what the role really involves. He was an HR guy so I didn't expect too much, but it almost felt like he didn't know what the role really was, and certainly made no effort to attract me. He then asked me brain teasers, I answered the questions. And no further question was asked, he didn't ask me anything about my CV. At this point, I find it hard to comprehend why have they conducted such interview. His attitude was somehow like they are the best company in the world that needed no persuasion, but this usually comes with tough interview questions as in GS, Citadel or DE Shaw. Apparently, these 5.15 clock questions were no where near difficult. Their reluctancy to show interest in you just tells me that they are reluctant to show interest to their employees. And I had no interest in going further with them either.

Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)
The phone interview consisted of a short greeting followed by four quatitative questions. I answered all the questions correctly and was still rejected without any feedback. Very confusing recruitment process.

The company first contacted me after checking my resume on my university's recruiting website. We settled to a phone interview, and eventually I made it to third phase interview. the interviews consisted mainly of brainteasers, with little else. the questions cover the main types of questions.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Sydney (Australia) (took 2 weeks)
First talked to a couple of traders at careers fair, was encouraged to submit a CV.
Submitted CV, arranged a phone interview. Talked about my previous work experience, then a few probability questions. I passed them all with ease, then we arranged a time to interview at the office face-to-face.
Live interview consisted of 4 interviews with 4 traders, each about 45mins-1hour long. Consisted firstly of some analysis of CV, then brain teasers and technical questions.
Very relaxed people, really intelligent, and looks like a good culture.

Interviewed May 2011 in Sydney (Australia) (took a day)
Was told to expect a phone call from LA at a certain time and that i would be getting an interview with a series of brainteasers. The guy asked me about myself and if I was good at maths. Then we went straight into it.
Was asked to be as precise as possible without using a calculator. Precision was stressed. I asked if there was any time constraint and was told there was not. The interviewer had a rather distant disinterested tone throughout.
I was a little anxious and so i stumbled over the task of getting the exact answer to the second question without a calculator. He told me I answered the first and third correctly but i was a little off on the second. After he asked me if I had any questions about the company and said they would get back to me.
A day or so later i heard back that they had other people who gave more precise answers to the questions and so there would be no followup interviews.

Applied through a university trade fair and got a phone interview. Very concise and no nonsense approach by the interviewer - asked about why you want to get into trading, and anything you would like to know about Madison Tyler.
Quantitative/reasoning questions were next. Interviewer promptly hung up and said 'thanks for your time' when I failed to answer one of the questions in the section.
