Interviewed Jul 2010 in Andover, MA (took a day)
Took typing test, filled out application, interviewed with one individual then shown directly to program manager, interviewed one on one with them. Basic experience and lackluster "tell me about a time when..." questions. Both interviewers were professional and were open to answering questions. Definitely presented the company as being more flexible and innovative then they actually are. Both individuals hyped the ability for professional growth and advancement, neither of which has lived up to their sunny descriptions, if anything the firm has had at least 1 major layoff each year with departments being combined incessantly. Interviewers were open about salary and time frames for decision making as well as providing contact information.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Phone Interview, mainly informational, the lady needed to know I was 100% committed to sales and I did not say this so job was declined. In the future I will and would recommend knowing exactly what position you want and being ethusiastic about a specific role.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Boston, MA (took 5 days)
- I was interview on campus from Putnams campus recruiter. Overall the process was very lax and was easy to build a rapport since we had similar backgrounds. The interview mostly consisted of similar questions that come with most interviews.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
About 2 hours of interviews with various people including HR and a portfolio manager. Asked some technical questions and basically my background at MIT.
I think they made the interview easier for me and asked mainly personality/fit questions because they assumed going to MIT gave a big boost.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Boston, MA (took 4 days)
For this position, you basically should have some programming and finance exprience. Otherwise, they don't really open to any kind of smart and analytically strong people.
