Interviewed Feb 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
The assessment centre took place in one RBS office within London. It was actually a 4-step interviewing process. The first step was a one on one interview which was basically a competency-based interview on your past achievements and your motivations for joining RBS.
The second step was a presentation that I had to put together after reading a set of documents about the current economic crisis in Asia - it was then supposed to end with a small interview but it didn't...
The third step was a regular numerical test for which we could use a calculator.
It then ended with a group work - I was with 5 other applicants and each of us had to promote a sports event. The whole group had to decide eventually to pick up 2 projects out of the six as the most outstanding ones. We were wached over by HR people and business people.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 3 months)
The Interview process is slow. Wrote an online questionnaire. This is to know if you have the personality they want. I then had a telephone Interview two days after wards. I was asked very simple maths questions. 3 in all. A calculator is allowed. All the questions asked were competency based, where you have to give scenerios of what happened and what role you played. I was told immediately that I passed.
I had a 1 to 1 interview 5 weeks after. Interview questions were same as telephone interview questions. Its ok to use the same answer. I was called the next day and told I Passed but that the vacancy was filled. I was invited for the final interview 7 months thereafter. Same kind of questions. I passed and got the offer the next day.
Advice is that use different scenerios when aswering the questions but all should be related on effective and quality customer service.
Good luck.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
Initial first interview consists of mainly competency style questions posed to you from 2 personnel, followed by an shl test and an able test.
Interview is quite ok, dont lie and dont fabricate. The people seem quite proud of what they do and are very willing to talk abt it. so always ask questions!

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Greenwich, CT (took a day)
The interview was with 3 members of the senior management team in the Sales and Trading field at RBS. The interview was difficult because they had three people asking questions and it was hard to focus on one person. The questions were largely background information, but some of the questions were why sales and trading and why this industry. My answer were not sufficient in many cases and they kept pushing me for a better answer. I worked at a small financial firm and they asked what products I was most interested in and I struggled to answer not because I didn't know, but just because I never thought about what "products" the company offered. Looking back, I can think of a million things, but at the time, they did not seem to care because I had worked for an insignificant financial firm. I needed to give them actual and pertinent answers and while they said this was more of an "informal" interview, it sure did not feel like it. They played the "laid back" card, but this was not the overall feeling of the interview.
