I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (New York, NY) in Oct 2012
Interview
Applied through campus recruiting, first there was an on-campus interview with an associate and analyst (mix of fit + technical); then they make you take an online assessment that is pretty difficult and a week later they invited me to the superday. The super day was two fit interviews and one case (not like consulting more understanding why a merger was done and structured in a specific way).

Question 1
the case was hard if you don't know what financial engineering is and when to use stock vs cash.
It went well, three rounds, some qualitative, some quantitative. It was generally easy but the analysts were a little tougher than the senior guys. overall, the interviews were okay. It was conducted through video rather than in-person or on the phone.
