Fund Accountant, Associate I at State Street
No Offer – Interviewed in Boston, MA Sep 2012 – Reviewed May 3, 2013
Interview Details – Applied online and got a call back within several days. Had initial phone screening, which consisted of some basic questions. Asked how much I was currently making and was told the Associate I position pays only $32k per year for full time position. Explained to interviewer there was no way I could support myself on such pay. Was told an Associate II pays around $42k with bonus and was encouraged to apply for another role. Got the impression there was high turnover within these types of positions, although some of the roles sounded exciting. Needless to say I decided to stop pursuing any other opportunities with this firm.
Interview Question – Didn't even get to point of interview questions once salary for position was brought up by interviewer. Answer Question

AIS Fund Administrator I at State Street
No Offer – Interviewed in Fair Lawn, NJ – Reviewed Apr 9, 2013
Interview Details – Phone interview was fantastic. The entire process was professionally handled with just a tiny email issue with scheduling the face to face interview. Overall, I was quite pleased with the recruiter.
Interview Question – None at all. I thought the whole process went very well. The interview questions were predictable but you never know what the managers are looking for. One of the managers did more talking than anything. I kept hoping and praying she will ask me more questions. Answer Question
