I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at State Street (Boston, MA) in Apr 2014
Interview
There was only one phone interview with a VP on the team, they mentioned that they wanted me to meet with more people but for timing reasons they skipped forward to making an offer relatively quickly. In general they were very nice and helpful, certainly open to answering all sorts of questions about the nature of the work.

Some very standard "tell me about a time when" questions about prior work experience as well as questions about my interest in the job
