Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 days)
Applied online with CV, took an online aptitude test, then a pen-and-paper test, followed by two rounds of interviews. I understand that at least another round of interview was expected for a successful candidate. Questions revolve around past leadership/teamwork experiences. Specific examples are necessary to score the interview.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 2 weeks)
first you apply online, then you receive an email with a link to answer a questionair based on personal qualities, background, etc. If your profile matches you are invited to go and do a test to evaluare your analytical skills. Then you wait at their offices for a while and they will tell you if you passed the exam. If so, you are scheduled an interview with a recruiter (not necessarily from HR or the function you applied for) for a first screening. If you pass that stage you are called to go to further interviews, it can either be three separate interviews with different managers or one or to pannel interviews with 2-3 managers. if you pass this stage you will receive an offer.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Ankara (Turkey) (took a day)
The moment I sat down, the interviewer told me that it would definitely not be a stress interview. However, while he asks the questions; Once he asked, then I answered exactly a logically right answer, Then he Changed the question, and said to me "I didnt ask you this, I asked ..." He had changed the question. I got nervous when I couldnt say "No you didnt ask me this". It was obviously a stress measured interview

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
First, the online application process was timed and lasted about one hour. I had to pass this in order to get an interview. This consisted of situational questions and a reasoning section that was like an IQ test. Ex: which shape comes next in this pattern. I passed this and then met with my interviewer for my interview which lasted about 1 hour. She was very nice and the questions were very hard. Some of the questions they asked were: 1. Describe a time where you had very little resources and were able to successfully reach a goal. 2. Describe a time where you used your expertise in an area to solve a problem. 3. Describe a time where you had to change the direction of a project at the last minute.
Then, after that (same day) I had to take a timed test which had a reading section, math, and reasoning section. I did not have enough time and had to go through and fill in the remaining answers.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 2 months)
The interview process was extensive but I enjoyed going through it. I had a representative that I was able to stay in contact with during the whole aplication process. She answered all of my questions and was very kind. I knew who I was interviewing with well in advance. I was given guidelines on how to answer questions during the interview. They told me what answers they would be looking for. : )

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Istanbul (Turkey) (took 2 months)
These were the steps involved in the interview process:
1. Online application
2. Personality/Leadership assessment (online, they look for consistency in the answers and ethical and leadership qualities)
3. Analytical reasoning test (approximately 70 questions, in person, verbal, quantitative and visual sections. Verbal section was close to reading comprehension GMAT/LSAT-like, quantitative section was basic math problems, visual section consisted of sequences of shapes and questions on which shape should logically follow)
4. In-person initial interview (behavioral questions based on past experience, though i had more of a "tell me about your experience" type of interview and less behavioral questions)
5. Career recruitment fair (if applicable)
6. In-person second interview (behavioral questions)
7. In-person third interview (behavioral questions, more difficult)
8. Offer/no offer
