I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (Hong Kong) in May 2010
Interview
Interview process was one of the most thorough that I've dealt with. Started with a 1-on-1 with the business unit manager. Then, a psychometric exam (plenty of examples on the internet for reference). Upon passing the test, met with the remaining members of the team. Then, was provided a case study that required me to value an illiquid pool of investments and present a recommendation on whether to purchase the pool of investments to the team.
Overall, people were very low key but highly analytical. They represented the organization as being very flat and highly entrepreneurial. The culture struck me as being aggressive but collegial.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Macquarie Group in Sep 2019
Interview
Phone screen with a director-level employee, ~90min computer-based assessment in their office, then two more meetings with director-level staff. Each step was 1-2 weeks apart, with feedback coming anywhere from hours after a meeting to a week later. Ultimately was told they wanted someone with a different background/experience, which made the process feel like a waste of my time and theirs. Everyone I spoke with seemed very friendly and candid, but clearly their process could be improved.
