I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Bank of America (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2011
Interview
Introduced to company by recruiter. Hiring manager based in New York. Process consisted of two initial phone interviews, a day of interviews onsite in London with members of the hiring team and other teams they work with, then a fit interview with a senior member of the department.
Phone interview consisted of quick technical questions and calculations involving financial models. Onsite interviews had more of these, and conversations of projects I had been involved in, and details of models I had implemented.
Final interview consisted of a trip through my CV, with questions involving career decisions, and questions to find out what I was looking for at this stage of my career.
Department is expanding and BOA merger work is still not complete. Folk I met are friendly and collegiate, joined because I think there is a good opportunity for career progression and because I liked the folk I met.

Question 1
They asked me to explain my projects in detail - more you highlight the technical depth, higher they value
Technical questions and a take home project. Tech questions are related to statistics and math, not very hard but time-series specifically. Also, there are questions related to probability calculation. The vibe is casual and the interviewers are very nice.
