Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 3 months)
In my first round interview, I was asked to discuss my previous research, including the papers/dissertation work, and my previous work experience. There were no surprising questions. The interviewer was very polite and friendly and the interview was done at a professional conference, so everything seems to be less intimidating. The second round interview took place several months later, as the bank went through a re-organization. It was a phone interview with a senior staff member.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was not expecting a very competitive offer so I did not try to negotiate. Also believe that the culture and work style matter more.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Madrid (Spain) (took 4 weeks)
I first spoke with an HR woman who asked me the typical resume questions. What I studied, Why, Tell me about your experience...etc. I then waited 3 weeks to hear back from them to tell me that I made it to the second round of interviews and I would be speaking with the manager of the internship. The second interview consisted of more questions about my experience and how it would help qualify me for the current position, etc. Both interviews were in Spanish.

Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Yes, i was able to negotiate with Human Resources. I will recommend to try to negotiate as much as possible because once you are in the bank, the salary increases per year are very low.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Birmingham, AL (took 4 months)
I originally heard about the position from a friend. The job was not posted. I was contacted by an HR rep to set up the interview. Apparently, she had put the interview on a few managers calendars, but never actually contacted them to confirm the interview. Both interviews that were scheduled were missed. I left the HR Rep a phone message to alert her of the situation and she never called back. I was told by my friend that BBVA has a horrific HR dept and deal directly with the managers. The phone interviews were rescheduled by myself going directly to the managers. All the standard questions were asked like, "tell me about yourself,"and "describe a difficult situation that you had to overcome." I felt like I led the interview more and tried to anticipate the information that they needed. Everyone with whom I interviewed were extremely easy going and very nice! They really made me feel comfortable. They flew me to Birmingham where I met with 4 people, the person who would be my boss, and his boss, a peer and the peer's boss. At the end of the day, my potential boss discussed salary and it was 60% of what I had made previously. I feel had HR been involved and communicated with me, I could have saved everyone a lot of time as the offer was just too low. The company is financially strong and initially they were interested in hiring me on for contract work, but I never heard from them on that either. They didn't just have low hanging fruit, but fruit laying on the ground just waiting to be picked up! They weren't doing so many of the basic processes that would save them thousands. I felt I could come in and make a huge financial impact. I interviewed with all men, and didn't see a lot of women in the cubes around the office, so diversity and would my opinion be respected were concerns for me. I was also concerned that I would be wanting to make changes faster than they were willing to accept them.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The pay was too low. I also was not provided the specifics on the relocation package. I believe that since we couldn't come to agreement on salary, that they felt it didn't make sense to discuss the relocation.
