I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Mercer (Noida) in Aug 2014
Interview
total 4 rounds
1. HR round
2. Written round involving financial knowledge
3. Technical round with the Operations Managers involving questions spanning across Finance domain.
4. Last round is with the Group Manager involving small introduction and few technical questions.
First step: computer based test of quantitative and written skills. Questions are directly linked to what you'll be doing day to day. Second/third steps: phone interview then 1-1 then panel interview with team. Hiring can be a long process since senior staff is often traveling. Once hired, not much room for negotiation and start date pretty much immediate.
I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Mercer (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2013
Interview
First interviewed with current boss, then interviewed with current team members. They came in in pairs, (3 rounds of 2). After that I was given an exam to test my understanding of finance.
