I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Deutsche Bank in Feb 2015
Interview
Had a 2 on 1 on campus interview. Asked me basic questions- why s&t, why DB, tell us about one time you failed, etc. Inquired about activities and time commitments listed on my resume. Interviewers were fairly cold, probed my answers pretty thoroughly and did not seem moved by my reasoning. At the end they asked me to describe the current markets and then let me ask them a few questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why banking, why DB, why would you be good at it, what are good traits for someone in sales and trading?
Questions about current state of the market, sales pitch, behaviourals, and passion about market. Brain teasers and some math and statistics related questions were also part of the process. Had phone interviews and in person assessment

Question 1
How do you normally keep in touch with the markets?
Asked about solvency, liquidity and operational ratios, a lot about credit analysis and balance sheet questions.
Being friendly and coming off helpful is a must, but technical are equally important
Invited to online interview as part of application process. Wasn’t speaking to anyone, just had to record my answer to a serious of questions which I got a short period of time to prepare
