I was recruited through my school's career department and was chosen to interview on site. The interview was more of a conversation to see what type of person I was and what my background was. Very few technical questions and it is important to ask many questions about the type of environment/workplace it is.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BNY (New York, NY) in Aug 2009
Interview
Applied online at company website.
Received call from HR for phone interview asking questions about my past experience.
Went in for face to face interview with multiple group heads. Each was a separate interview.
Every interview was different as the managers were looking for different things. No scary or special questions or brainteasers.
