The process took 1 day. I interviewed at State Street (Boston, MA) in Apr 2011
Interview
New business opportunity generated several new positions. Very friendly and the head of the team conducted the interview. Relaxed yet a definite information sharing session. Come with your industry knowledge at your finger-tips, don't expect to just fluff it. Entry level positions used to include full training but no longer. This is the major sticking point with folks arriving on the floor - no consistency with the hiring process and it is either feast or famine. Perhaps laying off half the HR Department wasn't such a good move several years ago.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Questions about derrivatives pricing and products.
one conversation with the recruiter followed by a 6-8 person panel interview. very conversational, already knew the team via internship. No technical questions were asked, just wanted to know how i think/why join the specific business unit.
Started with self intro in HR round.
After that second round scheduled for technical round. Again self intro was done and resume walkthrough. Later past work experience is discussion happened
2 rounds of interview, HR first round, Manager second round
HR asks about your CV, manager asks about your experience and interest - they want to know if you can blend in to the culture more
