Interviewed May 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I had one one on one interview for the internship. It was probably about 30 mins. We just talked about my resume and the internship. It was very relaxed. I would just tell people to know your resume and a little about the market.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
Very professional offices and work places. The interview was really laid back, they just told me about the internship position and what they expected, they didn't ask many questions. When they were done talking they just asked for me to follow up with them on email and tell them how interested I was in the position. So they next day I emailed them telling them I would love the job and the next day they called me and offered me the internship.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
I applied on the college website and within 3 days they emailed to ask a few questions about my graduation date and if i was getting credit for the internship. Next I received a phone call from the Director's assistant for an interview. I interviewed the same week and got an offer the same day. The interviewer liked my resume and the whole process lasted about 15 minutes. After the offer i went through an intensive background check and started a month later. It is a great experience, i learnt a lot and mostly I admired the professionalism within the work place

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
Communicated initially through a past intern and emailed employer, then eventually got a 1:1 interview. Make sure that you are persistent, though not annoying.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Nothing really. There isn't much to negotiate. It's unpaid, and they have pretty strict protocol they follow. They are flexible with hours, though, if you are a student.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Westlake Village, CA (took a day)
Easy interview. Seemed to have made up their mind about my qualifications before the interview. I met with two members of a wealth management team, and we just chatted about my goals and aspirations. They were very nice, and they just explained to me what the internship duties were and offered me the position at the end of the interview.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 days)
Started with basic phone interview describing the position and functions. Some behaviorial questions, resume questions, basic behaviorial questions. Emailed me back in a week to set-up an in-person interview at the office.
Next was a 1:1 interview at the office, which lasted about 45 min, more behavioral questions: "walk me through your resume", "tell me about a team experience", etc. Pretty difficult to read the interviewer (he was a FA, after-all), but I guess I did alright because I got the offer the day after.

Interviewed May 2011 in Tucson, AZ (took a day)
Was referred by an employee. Emailed the person in charge of the internship, and he called me back. We scheduled an interview for a week later. The first person I interviewed with, the person in charge, was pretty informal. He threw out basic, generic interview questions. After that, I interviewed with a second person. He asked much more challenging questions, more of a technical aspect about investing. They told me they'd give me a call later in the week to let me know if I got the internship; then, while I was in the lobby, they came out and offered me the internship.
The second interviewer was more difficult, but it was a nice change of pace to have my knowledge tested instead of the softball questions of typical interviews.
