I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at John Hancock (Boston, MA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied online through a campus job posting and was contacted to set up an on-campus interview. It consisted on back-to-back 30 minute interviews, one with a manager and one with an HR representative. The HR rep was friendly, but the manager was rude and condescending. I had a chance to talk to some of the first and second year staff members before the interview, who I found to be very helpful, and then the manager made negative comments about these employees for seemingly no reason. It seemed very unprofessional. It also bothered me how they were overly selective and acted like this was such a prestigious program, when it really is not. I didn't hear back from them yet and I'm not expecting an invite to the final round, nor do I want one. I interviewed with many companies and this experience stands out as being the most unpleasant.

The interview process was great. I heard back within 2 weeks. I went through 3 rounds. Very caring and supportive people. The questions were very straightforward and simple. Just be yourself and everything will work out.
2 back to back behavioral interviews were given, asking basic questions, nothing technical. the usual why would you work here, what do you do outside of school, et cetera. heard back a couple weeks after interviewing.
