State Street interview questions

The hiring process was fairly easy. I sent in my resume for a few different positions and within a few days I received a call from HR. I actually tried to defer my interviews until Jan '11, but I received an email and a call about having an interview set up with Institutional Investment Services for the following week. When I arrived at my interview, I met with 2 different people; one a lower level manager and then an AVP. They asked me fairly easy questions, nothing difficult at all other than weird behavioral questions and how my previous experience matches what they need. Both people were very pleasant to meet with. Within the next few weeks, I received a call with a job offer. I feel this place is a great start and if you don't get promoted within a 1 1/2 years, it's probably time to move on. Definitely a great place to get a big name on your resume and move on if you want to.

Was called the next morning after applying online. Easy phone interview to see how interested you are in the position and why you want to work for the company. Then was invited to a group interview where they meet each one of you one on one and ask you how the definition of NAV and how to calculate it. Interview consists of 2 one on one interviews with managers that are most likely not the one you end up working for. Both one on one interviews need to be a 'yes' in order for you to move onto the hiring process. If you have a bad recruiter, you will end up waiting for months to get the call. They will not call you to tell you if you were hired or rejected. As for the people, if you loved college, you'll love it here. Everyone here is pretty much out of college and that can be a good or bad thing. Most people are nice but can be highly unprofessional and immature. People are dressed very casually.
