Submitted online application including cover letter and motivation questions, then was invited to a first round interview at their office with two VP level employees.
The interview seemed quite on the spot, asking questions about my CV and background, then more technical questions which surprised me. They also asked situational questions and questions that would test if you think the right way about risk and decision making.

Question 1
Explain how Scotland gaining independence might increase Gilt bond yields or decrease bond yields.
Initial communications began in the Fall. After completing the online application, I was contacted about a week later to notify me that I was selected for a two-on-one first round interview.
Coming from a non-target school, I arrived and interviewed with all the other non-target candidates on the same day.
The interview itself was pretty straight forward. Your basic fit questions as well as some basic knowledge questions on financial markets. Overall I would say it was not a particularly difficult interview, as it seemed to be only fit based.
The hardest parts were definitely the follow-up questions.

Question 1
The most difficult questions asked in a overall pretty benign interview were the "Why should we hire you?" and "What do you think about the markets."
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Deutsche Bank
Interview
Apply via their webpage, then if selected you get asked what days you are available. You are then assigned a day and a time.
Once you are assigned a day and a time, you have to call their travel agent and book a train (if you are studying undergrad in the east coast ie Ivies) or plane (if you are farther than that).
You then are paired with 2 interviewers for a Behavioural interview.
Come prepared and have good questions. And I mean GOOD questions. They probably know a lot more than you expect, so use this to your advantage.
