I found the offer online and applied before the 2014 Christmas holidays. Early January, I received an invitation to a 15mn phone interview with a campus recruiter the next week. We went through my resume and my reasons for having applied. As I have an experience in credit rating, I have been asked more details about it. I was left with the impression that this step was a bit standardized and somewhat rushed. The next day, I received an invitation to two other back-to-back phone interviews of 30mn each with two different directors for the next week. These interviews were supposed to be only technical ones, but a good third of the time was spent discussing my earlier experience in credit ratings. The level of the technical question was higher than the earlier comments I read on this website let me think it would be, but not excessively so. Most of the technical questions aimed at making me take distance on what I actually did. Although we discussed the next steps, what this specific programme meant for the company and the role in details and that my experience fuelled an interesting discussion, I have not been invited to the next round. The second round of interview was more casual and less technical than expected. I had the impression to discuss with like-minded, more experienced professionals despite the fact that we had covered different industries. I was surprised when the second interviewer asked to conduct the interview in our common mother tongue, rather than English because it would it would otherwise feel somehow absurd to him (which is different from trying to test the proficiency of an applicant's native language). Also, my interviewers were not located in the office where the programme was supposed to take place.
