I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capital Group (New York, NY) in Sept 2015
Interview
Two people, a senior analyst and a partner. Friendly but focused, a lot of good back-and-forth. Focused a lot on why I had made certain investment decisions in the past, what information would have led me to make different choices, why I wanted to work at that firm vs a hedge fund or one of their peers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Which people had the most influence on you as a child?
Behavioral interview followed by a technical interview, which included a stock pitch. Each interview took about 30-60 min. The technical interview had several people sitting in, while the behavioral one was with an HR person only.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Capital Group (New York, NY) in Jan 2019
Interview
Fun interactive conversations about investing, companies and life. They seem to care about what makes you think differently and your intellectual honesty and humility. This makes the process less stressful than otherwise.

Tell me something about yourself that's not on your resume.
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital Group (London, England) in Nov 2015
Interview
Interviewed for a full time position. Met 2 people: one senior, one analyst who asked soft interview questions in a relaxed atmosphere.
Spoke about a stock, about the prospects, my goals, why capital group, etc.
A few weeks later I got a call to say I didn't go through the last round and mentioning they would encourage me to apply for the internship program.
