Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 days)
Conversation. It permits many total BS artists to lie about previous experience and misrepresent skills, and get a job.
Negotiation Details
They promise and don't put it on paper, so it goes away...
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 1 week)
Applied thru agency. Informed that it was a panel interview with HR siting in. On the day of interview, HR rep on MC
2 interviewers, one was ok & gave me an opportunity to answer qns & polite right till the end. The other one was downright rude, no eye contact during the entire interview, always interrupting when i was answering, just walked off before the interview ended. Gave me the impression that they were not too happy to have me there.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in City of London, England (United Kingdom) (took 4 days)
First, I met with the head of team and another director. Few days after, I came in again to meet a senior director. Later in the week, I got a call from the agency telling me that they decided to not hire someone even though they did like me... such a waste of time!
Questions were more around my experience and LBO deals than my personnality.

Interviewed May 2010 (took a day)
Nothing technical; you have to send over some research reports samples for their considerations; they asked whether you understand Japanese culture, how long you need to prepare report with 200 pages...
They strongly prefer people with almost exact experiences before.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Shanghai (China) (took 2+ weeks)
The interview was actually nothing, but the competition was fierce.
It was conducted by a professor from my university and he was supposed to pick up about 3 people among about 40 to the bank. Then, the bank would choose only 1 of these 3 people.
No sepcific professional questions, even no chance for u to show ur knowledge and experience.
kind interviewer,however.
finally, a Junior student with family background of banking, certification of JLPT1 won.
