First part of the process was to create 2-minute video answers to five questions on-line, including "What makes you the best candidate for this position?", "Estimate the number of fluorescent lightbulbs in the John Hancock Center", and "Do you think a third quantitative easing will be passed?" Two weeks later, 20 of us were brought in for testing and interviews. We were first given an easy 12-min language/math test (really easy), which was followed by a 90-min probability and reasoning test they wrote (much more difficult, tricky questions, similar to those found in "Heard on the Street"). We waited for them to grade the tests, and in 10-15 minutes they came back and read 10 names, asking the rest to leave. They then split us into two groups of 5, and observed us doing a group project where we had to decide which of three hypothetical projects (with pros and cons given) would be best for the company to undertake. Finally, they gave us individual interviews. We were each interviewed twice, both times by two people. This was more relaxed, asking questions that were more about background, or why you want to work with them and in that job. This interview process took about 4 hours, and they were very nice, pleasant, and approachable.
