I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Macquarie Group in Sep 2019
Interview
Phone screen with a director-level employee, ~90min computer-based assessment in their office, then two more meetings with director-level staff. Each step was 1-2 weeks apart, with feedback coming anywhere from hours after a meeting to a week later. Ultimately was told they wanted someone with a different background/experience, which made the process feel like a waste of my time and theirs. Everyone I spoke with seemed very friendly and candid, but clearly their process could be improved.

Nothing that seemed scripted. Questions related to my experience and intentions with respect to the unique post I was being considered for (to head a major transformative project).
