only one interview. The questions were pretty straight forward. The first question was write a recursive Fibonacci sequence. Then several SQL query statements. Followed by basic object oriented programming questions about polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation.

Interviewed May 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
The interview was for a Summer Quantitative Analyst Intern position. We talked over the phone around 1,5 hours. 1 person asked finance questions, another asked programming and math questions. Half of the questions were finance, even though I am a fundamental science PhD. Also the C++ questions were mostly about the syntax, which I find rather not relevant to quantitative analysis.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Charlotte, NC (took a day)
I had 2 1:1 interviews at my school's career services offices. Interviews were not technical, and were mostly concentrated on the assessment of fit, personality, leadership experience, and activities outside school. They apparently liked the fact that I was working while keeping up a pretty high GPA. The interviews were conducted by real executives (not HR people) in an informal manner, no trick questions. One of the interviewers ended up talking about her family.
Advice: don't be nervous. Try to think about specific instances of when you exhbited leadership qualities, kept your cool during a difficult situation, worked well in a team. Be prepared to answer why you are interested in the position, especially if your background does not clearly answer the question,

Negotiation Details
Really, you don't have much leverage during the negotiation process. Be sure to specify how much you need to accept/decline the offer if you get one. Make sure to build some slack time into that because they probably won't allow an extension on that. Once you accept, though they can be more flexible in terms of time off and start/end date.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
Woke up one morning and saw my inbox with an interview offer from Bank of America Institutional Mortgage Services department and was extremely excited. Did some research and found that BofA recently acquired Countrywide Financial so that I would be interning with that branch.
Pre Interview social was in a very intimate setting at the Blue Whiskey in Westwood. There was only 1 associate and 1 senior there along with the recruiting officer with 10 college kids from UCLA.
Interview consisted of a 2 1:1 interviews with the associate and the senior. Typical 5 question format testing and rating an individual on his/her performance in school, problem solving abilities in life/work, and adaptability.
Overall- very straightforward behavioral interview- very friendly and easy to talk to. Looking to hear from them soon.
