Interviewed Oct 2011 in Milwaukee, WI (took 2 months)
The hiring process typically consists of 1-2 phone interviews and 5-6 interviews in person if one makes it past the phone interview stage. My initial phone interview was approximately 45 minutes long with a Senior Equity Research Associate. I am still waiting to see if I have made it to the next round of in-person interviews. I was told this could take two weeks or 1-2 months depending on the applicant pool. All of the folks granted a phone interview are graded and then aggregated into a general pool at which point a group of the most senior equity research members pick whom they would like to interview in-person. Offers supposedly made quickly after the in-person interviews.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Milwaukee, WI (took 3 weeks)
Extensive math / quantitative exam and writing test that was very similar to the most difficult questions on the GMAT. Be prepared to discuss why you would belong well at Baird and in research as fit is a big indicator of interview success as Baird culture is extremely important. You should display a strong interest in the capital markets, in addition to the specific sector you are interviewing for, and be ready to pitch a specific stock and walk through a formal discounted cash flow, comparable transaction, LBO, or other valuation methods.

Interviewed May 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 3 months)
I applied online for an equity research position. I got a call about a month later from a lady with HR that quickly ran through my resume. She told me I would definitely be getting a call to set up an interview. I heard nothing and e-mailed them another month and a half later. A week after that I got a call to set up a phone interview. So I just had a phone interview with a senior analyst who told me at the end of the interview that he wasn't sure if they had an open position.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 2+ weeks)
After an initial phone screening interview by a recruiter, I was called again for another more personal phone interview with an existing equity research analyst. The initial interview consisted of some background information and knowledge questions. The recruiter asked questions about why I wanted to work there and why I was fit for the job. The second interview was more personal and the recruiter asked me in-depth background information and then asked a few brain teasers/riddles to see the thought process. One question asked "how many donuts were sold in NYC yesterday", and another question tested your math logic.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Milwaukee, WI (took 4+ weeks)
The first step is to be contacted by an HR representative. This consists of a 25 minute surface scratch of your resume and some fairly stock interview questions. I was then told to prepare a stock pitch for the next round of interviews. Three weeks later I received an interview asking if I would be interested in interviewing with a current associate. The associate was kind. The interview was very informal for the first 10 minutes or so and then came a good 25 minutes of accounting specific questions. This was followed up by a stock pitch. Warning for any academics. The pitches are to be briefs not standard stock pitches. Highlight 3 summary points with justification and a recommendation.

i initially had a 30 minute phone interview with research director. a few days later was invited to WI for interview with ~5 members of research department. also had to take timed analytical and writing tests. baird culture emphasized heavily throughout interview. few technical questions - focused more on learning about candidate's personality. be able to provide concrete examples of your desire and tenacity for the job.
