I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (London, England) in Sep 2015
Interview
First stage was a phone call with somebody in HR where they asked a variety of competency based questions such as "name a time when you worked well in a team". Second stage was a panel interview with 2 senior employees. This was very conversational and they gave a good idea of what they were looking for.
