The interview was simple and straight forward. It was a couple minutes of introductions by the interviewers then about 10 minutes of fit questions followed by 5 minutes of technical then about 5-10 minutes for questions.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 3 weeks)
Full-day interview with MDs, executive directors and HR. In addition to "fit" and "industry" questions, they provided a lot of time for me to ask questions. It seems like I was also being judged by what questions I asked and how I asked them.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
The first round was on campus interview and was fairly simple. A couple of questions about Java memory management, OOP principles and finally an implementation for fibonacci numbers. Second round was on site in New York, about seven hours in length. It started with an informational panel then two group activity where interviewers are divided into groups to build some small projects. Then there was four rounds of 1:1 interview.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
The process was quite comfortable - no hard questions, all personality tests. I'd say the people there were very nice, and considerate. The first round was a on-site aptitude test, and around 1-2 weeks later there was a telephone interview, and finally an assessment center interview. The AC had 2 1:1 interviews and 1 group interview.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Tokyo (Japan) (took 4 weeks)
I passed the first phone interview and had 3 1-on-1 face to face interview. Each interview last about 30 minutes long. Overall, it's almost all behavioral question. No technical question at all. I was asked what is your view to the market and to pick one stock in Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Interviewed May 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took 4 days)
The interview was a long process. First it starts with a selection from the university career fair. On campus interview which I was really prepared for but unfortunately didn't have a chance to go to the next step.
It was very competitive because there is only one or two spots for a bunch of people.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
They called me on Friday at 8 p.m. and just said that i was invited to an interview that will take place <date and time> The person on the phone sounded neither friendly nor helpful, and was not expecting questions. I asked a couple of questions, one about which department I will be interviewed for - she answered IBD and that I was a lucky one. The office was quite good, but rather deserted and somewhat grave. I had two interviews, basically cv-based, with a little incline into professional skills and some questions on valuation (which I did not answer very well). The first interviewer was a vp, he asked me to tell him about myself and started crossing out items on my resume that I covered. Overall, his attitude was not overly serious, more of condescending. The second one was an analyst, he asked basically similar questions, with more emphasis on my research work. Overall, as it was my first IB interview ever, I felt that I kinda did not do well. That proved right, I was not called back.
