I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RBC (London, England) in Mar 2009
Interview
3 rounds:
(1) Online application; verbal and numerical reasoning test
(2) First round interview at the London office (2 / 3 interviews with 1 or 2 people, 1 with HR)
(3) Second round interview at the London office (2 / 3 interviews with 1 or 2 people)
1 OA, 1 TI, 1 AC. Online assessment was simple enough, telephone interview was friendly (allowed me to change phone number since I provided the wrong one), and the AC was a fair judge of my behavioural and technical ability. Good feedback throughout, though it may of been different if I was rejected
Online Assessment, telephone Interview, Assessment center. Overall, a four week process. Friendly and conversational interviews with a few commercial knowledge questions. Assessment center had a presentation and interviews with managers.
Standard interview processs with a mix of behavioural and technicals. Was not hard and was more of a conversation than interview. Technicals were accounting and valuation and were very basic.
