I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at State Street (Boston, MA) in Jun 2015

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Probability theory, econometric. Very Technical !!!!
2 rounds virtual, one hour each, 3 interviewers each round. Mainly competency questions, nice conversations. They want to understand your past experience, how much you know about risk strategies and what you worked on
First, I applied online using their portal. I had an interview with the team, and then another interview with the head of the team. HR contacted me afterwards with an offer.
I met with the HR first and then one on one with a manager in the team. They switched the person to meet with me last minute due to a conflict with the original interviewer.
