Interviewed Oct 2011 in Overland Park, KS (took a day)
I applied through campus career fair. They were from branch of Overland Park, KS. Submitted an application online and got a phone interview by a recruiter. She asked questions and typed for record. She did not responded to my answer at all, About 30 mins with several fit questions, such as why do you want to work for here? what kind of person are you, sales oriented or analytic oriented? what kind of job do you like, structured or unstructured? Tell me about a project...After about a week, I was being thanked for my interest and time...you know what happened, lol

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Cleveland, OH (took 1+ week)
The interview process began on campus, with a 2:1 interview. Mixture of behavioral/fit questions and technical questions. It tested more accounting knowledge than traditional technical Finance questions.
Was called back half a week later and was invited to Super-day at their HQ in Cleveland. The Super-day consisted of 6 interviews; 5 behavioral and 1 technical. Many of the interviewers were very casual and easy to talk to, and the technical was not as difficult as many other tech interviews for other banks.
Overall, it was a great experience and the people were nice. But unless you are from Cleveland-area or have a desire to be in Cleveland, it is a tough choice.
Interview Questions
1) demonstrated leadership
2) Disagreed with group members and how you dealt with it
3) dealt with a team member who was doing their job
4) Worked under a time constraint
5) Solved a problem with limited resources
6) etc. each of the 5 bahavorial interviews asked on avg. about 3 questions.
1) What are the 3 financial statements/how are the connected?
2) Is Net Income a good item to evaluate a company
3) How would you evaluate a stock and/or company
and a few more that I cannot remember...
Reason for Declining
Location was a major factor for me
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Brooklyn, OH (took 1+ week)
Was referred to the position by a staffing agency. Had an interview with two of the position's supervisors at the Brooklyn location. An average interview, a few "star format" questions, certainly not the hardest interview I've ever had. The whole interview took about 20 minutes. Was given an offer one week later.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 3 weeks)
Sat with the hiring manager and discussed the position and benefits and draw backs to Key Bank. Then I was given time to review my background and skills. The dialog was open and to the point.
The hiring manager was very open and upfront about short comings at Key. However, the benefits out weight those negatives.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Cleveland, OH (took 2 days)
My first interview took place at my university, it was mainly a behavioral based interview asking questions like "Tell me about a time when you took initiative...ect.." After that interview I was invited for a super day of interviews at their headquarters in Cleveland. It was 7 different interviews with each one asking a series of behavioral and technical questions on valuation, M&A, and DCFs as well as logic quesitons.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Cleveland, OH (took a day)
Since I had worked at Key Bank before I had a stream lined interview. I was basically interviewing for the same position I got downsized from the year before, but in a different LOB. I interviewed directly with the hiring manager. I got an overview of the position, and what they were looking for. I only had to explain my past work for Key and fortunately was not asked those inane 'behavioral' questions. Unfortunately I was the second choice for only one opening.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Elkhart, IN (took 1+ week)
Online application, phone call with Recruiter, official application, 1:1 with Regional Sales Manager.
Have written answers to the top 10 interview questions, review them before each interview. Know the organization, preferably the locals. Key was dated in how their offices looked and they way they presented themselves, lots of people had been there a long time. The focus on production numbers, so know yours and why.
