I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Deutsche Bank in Nov 2009
Interview
I got an interview at DB because the IT director of the company I was working at sent my resume to the IT Director there . I first interviewed with the Director and he went through my resume from beginning to end. Since I didn't come from an IT back ground, he quizzed me on the risk system that I was using in my current position to gauge how much I knew. DB was using the same risk system that I was currently using so he wanted to see if I was willing to be more of a support person instead of an end user. The questions were not too technical. He was more interested to see if I was willing to learn other commodities and how much of the system I knew.
Next interview was with the project manager. His questions were very general and wanted to know why I wanted to take on more of a support than a front office role. We went through my resume to gauge how much of the system I knew. The interview took 1 hour.
After the interview with the manager, I interviewed with two business analysts at the same time. I knew one of the guy who interviewed me because he used to work at the company I currently worked at. Out of all of the interviews, this one was the most relaxed. We just talked about what my hobbies were and what I liked to do. They were more interested in how I would fit with the team.
After I interviewed with the two business analyst, I interviewed with three more front office people (gas trader, gas scheduler, and mid office manager) and one back office manager (accounting).
One recurring theme that I noticed with all the interviews is that I either worked with everyone who interviewed me directly or indirectly, OR I knew someone that they knew.

Question 1
one trader asked me how I would schedule gas from a pool to park and loan in openlink. Since I was a scheduler, I was able to answer that question easily. I wasn't expecting him to get technical but I was surprised that he asked
They reached out for an interview, I waited almost 10 mins for a senior manager to join and he didn't so the interview continued, they pretty much just read off their job description asking me if I had experience in this and that - said HR would be in touch, HR never did get in touch even to send a rejection.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Deutsche Bank (Mumbai) in Apr 2025
Interview
It was okay, to say the least. There was an Excel test followed by the interview. The interview took 15-20 mins. The Excel test was 10 mins or so.
The office was amazing, and the coffee was amazing. In conclusion, it's a good place to work

Question 1
A scenario where I was leading a team or a group of people.
Nachdem ich mich auf eine Stelle als Business Analyst beworben hatte, erhielt ich eine Einladung zum Vorstellungsgespräch per E-Mail. Die Nachricht war kurz und enthielt außer der Uhrzeit und dem Link für das Online-Meeting keine weiteren Informationen zum Ablauf des Gesprächs.
Das erste Interview fand nicht mit einem Recruiter statt, sondern mit zwei Teammitgliedern. Es hat mich gestört, dass in der Einladung nicht erwähnt wurde, dass es sich um ein technisches Interview handelte und nicht um ein Gespräch mit einem Recruiter. Die Interviewer erklärten die Position und die täglichen Aufgaben jedoch sehr gut. Das Gespräch verlief angenehm, und sie stellten relevante Fragen zu meiner Erfahrung und meinen Fähigkeiten. Überraschend war, dass keine typischen HR-Fragen gestellt wurden.
Insgesamt gab mir das Interview einen guten Einblick in die Rolle, aber ich hätte mir mehr Transparenz in der Einladung gewünscht.
