I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at State Street (Boston, MA) in Feb 2012
Interview
I interviewed with two Vice President's for an associate role. I was offered and accepted an Officer level position. I studied finance, accounting and systems through my compulsory education. I have a thorough knowledge of systems, finance, mutual funds and stocks and bonds. I was more concerned that I wanted to work for this company. As it turns out, I did not want to at all. However, I did stay for four years and did not seek any opportunities other than what I was hired for on purpose. It was not a place I would ever look back at , or forward to being EVER again.

Question 1
I turned my interview into a technical interview as I was curious to test the knowledge of those interviewing me. Topics surrounded accounting and systems.
Mostly 1 round interview. Followed by HR round where salary would be discussed. You must know about the role you’re applying to and make sure you prepare well for the interview. The interview is mostly taken by the reporting manager or VP.
