Interviewed Jan 2008 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 weeks)
Straightforward and standard interview process. 1 to 1 interview in two rounds with final detailed HR interview. 3 rounds in total. Mostly competency based questions. Perception was positive especially of culture and people. Quite relaxed interviews and was able to ask many questions and felt I got to know potential employers well and get a good feel for the role and organisation.

Interviewed Jan 2007 (took 1+ week)
After a more than satisfying internship in the team, I got offered a permanent place in the team (they needed an addition to the team). I met with the newly promoted chief of the team, then with the team, went to a recruitment agency to undergo IQ and behavioral tests, and then again with the team boss. Feedback was great, I was (and still am) totally fit with the corporate culture and the spirit of the team I was about to join. Offered compensation was very competitive, and this was definitely my best offer on the table. Eventually met with HR only to sign my contract.
