Interviewed Sep 2011 in Sandy, UT (took 2 weeks)
First a emailed a pre-screen questionnaire, which included behavioral questions from past work experiences. Shortly after I was contacted to go in for two test an aptitude test and a "less important" learning style test. in total the test took about 30 min. All that was required to pass the aptitude test was a 4 out of 10, so very easy. After passing that test they emailed two additional test basic customer service test and simulations. then finally a 2 on 1 interview. the interview consisted of behavioral questions from previous work experience. I was told after the interview if I don't hear from them in a couple days that is a good thing. they had to do a background test before offering the job and that takes a couple days

Interviewed Jan 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
Fairly straightforward technical interview. Absolutely NO behavior questions.
Interviewers were friendly but ill-prepared except for one who was well prepared but surly.
3 rounds of 1:1 interviews. Interviewer asked me to explain current project and interrupted to ask about possible enhancements. Typical "if you could change one thing what would it be" type questions.

Negotiation possible.It's a very flat organization so don't sell yourself short; there may not be any opportunity for further negotiations for a while once in the door.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Jersey City, NJ (took 2 weeks)
The 2 phone interviews was very easy. She gave a brief overview of the position and asked me my current duties. the second interview with the fraud operations manager was also easy. He asked the basic question why etrade, what can you bring to the company. the panel interview in jersey city was more greuling. They asked questions about analytics and also wanted to know how my current education helps my co-workers with the job functions. Also asked if i was performing poorly according to one boss but doing well by another boss, how would you handle the situation. Its been over 2 weeks and haven't heard back from E-Trade so i'm assuming I didn't get the job.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Got a call from the HR manager and scheduled an appointment for a skills test. The next week I went in and took the skills test (basic math and analogy questions). The next week I had a phone interview with the HR Manager (basic questions like what do you know about the company, why do you want to work for us, etc.). After the phone interview the next step was a panel interview with two managers (more basic questions like name a time when you exemplified excellent customer service, etc). The last interview was with a Senior Manager, which was the most laid back of them all. Focus on your customer service skills and you'll get the job.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Sandy, UT (took a day)
The head manager for the Financial Consultants as well as his Director was in the interview room. Rather intimidating. When they started the interview, they said that there would be a roleplay involved. Also, asked normal questions such as name a time when there was a change and how you adapted. Role play consisted of the manager walking into a "store" where you are the owner and that was it. No real instructions other than that.
