I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Commerzbank (London, England) in Mar 2014
Interview
Sent off cover letter + CV and recieved invitation for interview. Two back to back interviews, one technical one more general.
Technical interview was pretty varied covering programming, mathematics (in relation to CV) and product (derivatives) knowledge. More general interview was more of a conversation with relation to my experience, career desire ect.
Overall a pretty good experience, plus nice and straightforward.
