I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (Sydney) in Aug 2010
Interview
Only two rounds. First one was conversational Q&A session with technical team lead and a senior developer. Talked about my preference of Java framework, how to go about unit testing, design and performance improvement. Second one was more behavioral questions with project managers. e.g. what do you do if your tasks schedule is not meeting deadline. Any experience working with business stakeholder. how do you explain technical information to business person.
