Interviewed May 2009 in Mumbai (India) (took 3 days)
First, I was called by the recruitment agency. They then suggested this role of Business Development Manager. I was then contacted by the HR representative at the Bank who spoke to me about my interest in the role. She then ended the conversation by asking me if I was interested in coming in for a 1:1 discussion with her. I told her I was interested and she scheduled this meeting for a few days ahead. I then went to the office as per the appointment and met with her. She seemed friendly and intelligent. She asked me to give her copies of my resume, recommendation letters, information for background checks and also take a psychometric test. After all this was completed (about 3 hours later), she said that my possible 'manager' was interested in having a 1:1 interview. This was arranged a few days later. I was not impressed by my manager, he seemed very resigned to his role, he also seemed like he was not excited about his job anymore. Although, this meeting went alright, I was beginning to get seriously worried about working with him. Later that day, I received a call from the HR rep asking if I could come in and meet the regional manager in a few days. Although I was quite disheartened, I decided to go to the interview. The 1:1 interview with the regional manager (RM) was very different from the interview with the manager. This was clearly a talent test and the RM was checking to see if I had any major flaws (arrogance, ability to overcome, learning from mistakes, accountability etc.). I was very excited to join this company after my interview with him and received an offer from the Bank a few days later.

Negotiation Details
No, there was no negotiation on the salary. The Bank was quite clear that they were not interested in negotiating. I would suggest to others that if you are not convinced with the offer that you receive, before you compromise - try to negotiate anyway!
Other Details
I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

It was very easy. Just asked some questions in my resume. Then it took 2 weeks to got my second interview. In the second round interview, they asked some technical questions.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4 days)
Got a call from HR for asking if I'm interested it or not, I said yes then went through the interview process. Since I'm in the states and the interviewers are in Singapore, it's just phone interview. They need someone to work on their system, and their business focusing on fixed income on emerging market and FX options. They mainly asked some finance questions, like basic knowledge on options, how to derive black-scholes formula, and some C++ and SQL questions. It's basically not a tough one.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
The interviews are easy if you understand the logic behind them. I had a phone interview first and then a 1:1 interview with 2 Managers.
The phone interview is used to make sure that you are who you say you are. That is, I wouldn't advise on being creative during the Talent Assessment. I know that you may want to appear the very best candidate but unless you have a astonishing memory, chances are that during the first interview discrepancies will appear between the way you, talk, behave, answer questions, and the question content in itself that there is a high likelihood that you will be dropped.
If you are truthful and did fail the Talent Assessment then just be a nice grown-up, admit that you are not what SCIG is looking for and try to find a job that matches your personality and the way you work.
If in the likelihood that you did lie through your teeth during the Talent Assessment and do make it to the 2 round of interviews then you can focus on practicing standard interview techniques.
But be warned, some questions during the 2nd round are also asked to verify the veracity of your application.
Overall I discouraged any form of lying because it is easy to identify mistakes or flaws.
Other than that if you do get accepted then congratulations, you really are what SCIG is looking for!
