I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at State Street (Boston, MA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Standard - multiple interviewers from different parts of the firm. They were specifically looking for a client facing person. In addition to technical abilities, it seemed they were looking for someone who is also able to articulate well. They also were interested in knowing why "Boston" as I was in NYC.
Process consisted of 2 rounds of interview on Teams, both for half an hour. First round was with the Vice President, and 2nd with the Managing Director. Both were very nice and offered a lot of information about the company.

Question 1
What I knew about different currencies, investment vehicles, languages.
Relatively straightforward interview process with the initial phone screening with a recruiter then meeting with a AVP/Manager. Mix of general behavioral and technical questions and a breakdown of what’s expected for the role.
