Interviewed Oct 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 3 weeks)
Consisted of a phone interview. Next step was a 1 hour personal interview. After completeing the personal interview I returned for a short 30 minute interview with a EVP. Final interview was with the recruiter that initially contacted me. We spent considerable time goign back and forth on salary offers and other benefits.
the interview with the EVp was a complete sham and a waste of time for both of us.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Got a phone interview through a alumni contact. Was then called the next day to schedule an interview with three different account managers. The interview was relatively informal and there was genuine interest in getting to know me and vice versa. The last man I interviewed with was a bit busy and I felt very rushed but overall was a good experience. I was the first interviewed so it took a while to hear back. Though technically after almost 2 months I still haven't heard back, I was told the process was taking longer than expected.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 2 months)
The interview process took about 2 months. I have interviewed with the same set of people twice. Mainly the questions were around my experience, and what I know. The job itself is very plain, and one will need a general understanding of securities, however, it's not the main concern.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I interviewed for Exchange Traded Funds Accountant position. I supposed to speak with 3 manager, each for 30 min. however, I spoke with only two and they said the 3rd was busy doing something and "some other time". The manager I spoke with was friendly and nice, asked me questions: Why BNY Mellon? and some finance questions: What is the difference between return of assets and return on income. Another question was could you tell me if bonds and common stock pay dividends? Very finance related questions.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Pune (India) (took 7+ weeks)
Nothing very specific - the interview process was a routine one - 3 rounds - though the time lag between each round was too long. HR did not respect the time-sensitivity before rolling out the offer and made errors in the offer rolled out.
Functional/Technical interview was however good, with aspects of the job explained clearly.

Negotiation Details
Hardly any negotiation happened. The HR was very uptight about the amount they wanted to offer.
