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.
Though initially technical, the junior-role interviews focused on behavior. They prioritized cultural fit and strong communication skills over deep technical expertise to ensure the right candidate was selected. Overall, the interview was not difficult but you need to prepare.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Ask about prior and related experience. Not technical questions, overall market knowledge.
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
