I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (Gainesville, FL) in Feb 2016
Interview
Applied online through Career Resource Center. Two 1-on-1 on-campus interviews. Pretty straightforward. No technical questions. They really just wanted to know about resume and if you're a good fit for the company. Then SHL assessment after interviews, which consisted of numerical, verbal, logic, and personality tests. Can't study for these but look up practice questions online.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (New York, NY) in Feb 2016
Interview
First had a behavioral interview, then some logic tests that I had to take online, and then a in-person final interview. The final interview wasn't particularly difficult, but it did involve a little bit of a case example at the end. Mostly trying to figure out why I wanted to work in finance and specifically as an Equity Research Intern.
