I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at State Street (Boston, MA) in Feb 2013
Interview
1-2 phone interviews, then in-person interview with 1-3 people depending on the team size. The phone interview was very basic, on why you want to work for the company. The phone interview was a basic screening. The in-person interview is the real interview. It involves personality questions, leadership questions, situation questions, and basic interview questions such as 3 words to describe yourself, what would you change, how have you dealt with issues in the past, what leadership situations did you deal with and such.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a leadership experience in which you had to resolve an issue
First meet with HR - asks behavioral questions, background information takes about 20 minutes. Then meet with Actual Hiring Managers. The Hiring managers asked pretty simple questions and its easy to figure out the right answer. No technical questions, purely behavioral. Prefer Diverse background, want to make sure your the right fit in the team. The job itself is very entry level so if you are to qualified you might not get the job. The managers themselves didn't really know what to ask they ask random questions, and if they like you they hire you. Doesn't matter about your education or experience it seems.

Got a phone call from HR to set up and time and date for an in person interview. In-person interview first with HR and then with hiring manager and another manager. Questions were common interview questions. Got the offer two days later
