I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at State Street (Boston, MA) in Mar 2011
Interview
I applied online and received an email three days later to schedule an interview for the following week. When I arrived, there were a dozen candidates interviewing for the same position. I met with two managers who were both very pleasant. They asked behavioral and situational questions. The entire process took less than an hour. Three weeks later I was contacted about a possible position that may be available down the road. Overall, pleasant but very long process to this point.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at State Street
Interview
They ask a lot of behavioral questions. They ask a little about your technical expertise (excel, access, powerpoint, etc). Usually there are several interviewers, and they will take turns asking questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How much experience are you with excel and other office programs?
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at State Street
Interview
First you interview with recruiter and then in person interview with two managers. It was a very laid back experience and felt very comfortable without. It was very much a personality test, as it was an interview.
Pretty standard, walk me through your resume. What are you strengths and weaknesses, why state street.
They also provided some more detail into the job to talk about the role and what the responsibilities would be. Nothing too out of the ordinary and was a quick process as well.
Nothing too difficult, they seemed pretty desperate at the time.
