First round: Asked to read through a case study of a recent deal and talk through various valuation techniques. Final round: Time largely dominated by listening the the various interviews talk about what they do. When I did get asked anything it was always very bland questions about why I want to work in finance, why Nomura etc. No mention of brain teasers or problem solving.
