Interviewed Oct 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2+ weeks)
Personality. Asked some good questions, some random ones. The HR person seemed uninterested and too concerned with typing. A very slow typer so there was a lot of silence while I heard him typing in the background.

The interview process is situational based interviewing. So, they ask questions like- tell me about a situation in which your supervisor told you there was a problem with your work, and what did you do about it. Also within my department the interviews are all scheduled for an hour so attempt to reach that threshold to have a good interview. Also, there will be two people interviewing your and they will typically tag team and alternate asking questions. Lastly the two people will likely be of different levels with one typically being a manager and the second person being an officer or above within the department, not specifically within the reporting structure of the position being hired.

I was not able to negotiate very much, but there is typically room for negotiation based on skill and experience level. Also, I was able to secure a signing bonus to counter an offer that I had from my previous employer to continue to work there.

Interviewed May 2011 in Sacramento, CA (took 4+ weeks)
The initial interview was fine, just a 30 minute, 1 on 1 interview on campus. The in house interview was more extensive. It was 2.5 hrs, with 30 mins being a presentation on the company, then 2 separate 1 hour interviews with managers and others. The second hour is a repeat of the first, probably to see if they can trip you up by creating a sense of deja vu. Nothing difficult, but I did shoot myself in the foot. Probably the reason no offer was made. I've heard of an odd culture pervasive with the company, but saw nothing of it in the interview, though, the casual dress (jeans, polo shirts, and unshaven faces) was certainly interesting, given it's a bank. The back office environment probably has to do with that.
The HR rep involved was spot on though. Always communicated in advance of when they said they would. No wondering where you stood.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Initially contacted by Talent Acquisition group based upon employee referral. Initial 30 minute interview with Talent Acquisition rep consisted of a brief review of the organizational structure and an overview of benefits. Proceeded to interview with hiring manager, which lasted about 30 minutes. General questions were asked. Hiring manager was comfortable with my background based upon referral from another employee. Interviewed with Department Head and two other members of department. Standard interview questions asked, including "So why are you the right person for the job?".

Interviewed May 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
HR called me in for an interview, and it turned out to be three 30 min interviews with managers/directors from three different sectors. They each introduced their departments and products and it was more of a fit interview. They asked some technical questions but mostly just to see what you know, although there were some odd ones like "Would you rather have a sailboat or motorboat and what would you name it?"
