I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Deutsche Bank (New York, NY)
Interview
Went through 3 levels of interviews - HR, subject matter expertise and colleagues team before being presented to the Group Division Head. The whole process took less than a month and was very thorough, not at all stressful and very pleasant experience. They went out of the way to make sure I am comfortable and fully aware of the details of and expectations in the role, the opportunities, the organizational changes that have happened locally in NY and globally and at HQ. The whole hiring process was very very professional and far exceeded anything I have seen in most previous large name banks where I had been hired after interviews, except may be the first one in my career.

Question 1
Explain the many contract roles and job shifts you have had in your career over 20 years.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Deutsche Bank (City of London, England) in Jan 2012
Interview
The process was very intense. I was interviewed by 7 people of different areas and levels. It showed the determination to find a candidate that really fits into the culture and has all the relevant skills and experience needed. This shows the aim to hire with a short term perspective regarding contribution of the new hire to the company and a long term perspective regarding the time the candidate is hopefully working for Deutsche Bank. It is not unusual to have people interviewing you, that have been in the company for many many years.
I really appreciated to a) meet all the key stakeholders during the interview process and b) to get an insight into the job and the expectations from a wide variety of angles.
It is important to know, that the whole hiring process can take up a lot of time. In my case from the first contact with the recruiter to the offer being made it took roughly 4 months.
