I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Jefferies (London, England) in Dec 2013
Interview
They were really nice, they asked very general questions and some technical questions (nothing too hard general stuff about M&A), I came from a non-finance background, they matched nterviewer(s) very carefully (in accordance to your background) - made me feel very comfortable and welcome.

I applied online and received an email for a behavioural round interview. I was asked typical behavioural questions like do you have experience working with a team and describe that,

Question 1
Mostly behavioural question about experience working with a team, biggest challenges, what work environment do you prefer etc.
Mostly Behavioral questions were asked, the interview wasn't technical. Questions were related to my resume mostly and focused on the projects I had worked on. It was on zoom. The questions were not very difficult.
Hard, asked basic technicals but more characters and fit based in my opinion but yeah I'd say definitely prepare your technicals. They also ask character questions as well so prepare.
