Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 months)
Started with online application. Was invited in for a Numeracy and Verbal Reasoning test with about 25 people on the day I went in. Several rounds of this are held. About 500 people are picked from the initial lot applying.
I got through to a Group Assessment day and first round of interviews. Following a scenario group assignment we all had 4 separate 15 minute interviews with various middle management.
I was invited back to another round of interviewing, this time 1/2 hour sessions with 4 different people of the hiring business units.
Having worked through the teams that were interested I was invited back for 3 more interviews with senior management from the interested teams.
Very different interviews styles, people gave a good impression and were generally friendly and helpful.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in City of London, England (United Kingdom) (took 1 week)
The first interview consisted of a 2:1 setup and appeared to be an initial screening interview to asertain my motivations for working in the company and in the sector. I was able to answer most questions as I had researched the company and the general role, although I had not specifically searched reinsurance, which I was asked about, meaning I wasn't able to answer that question. The first interview was not competency based, but mainly consisted of questions regarding why I applied to Willis, what I thought I would be doing in the role, and how I would be a good candidate to work in their Tokyo branch (as I would transfer after 2-3) years. The second stage consisted of aptitude tests including verbal and mathematical skills. The final interview stage was more specific and focused more on my past achievements and competencies. I didn't receive an offer but I was not that surprised as it was not my best interview, as I had been quite ill during the week of the recuriting process, but it was a learning experience.
