Software Engineer at Northern Trust
Declined Offer – Reviewed Jan 10, 2013
Interview Details – 2 interviews, one with manager, one with colleague. Not difficult at all. Mostly just explaining each position on the resume, and what each job entailed, how problems were solved, standard stuff all around. No brain teasers or even white boarding. Lots of paperwork to be filled out of course, and they did not show me my actual work environment, but the nicer main building, not the cube farm tech building.
Interview Question – Just the usual explain past experiences stuff. Answer Question

Senior Analyst at Northern Trust
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Jan 3, 2013
Interview Details – Short phone interview followed by an onsite interview that lasted for a little more than an hour. The questions were all very basic. I feel like I didn't have to try at all. The first interview was with the recruiter and the second two were with two VPs. The position was not described very well to me at all. It was a new team so I felt that no one really knew what was going on at the time but they were very nice about it.
Interview Question – The questions were extremely basic. They just wanted to gain a very in-depth understanding of my prior experience and what I am capable of. Answer Question
