Interviewed Dec 2008 in Toronto, ON (took 2 weeks)
I received a called within a few days of applying. The initial called from HR was to ensure the candidate understood the compensation salary at state street. State street is notorious for offering low starting salaries to new college and university graduates. After discussing my salary expectations, we we set an interview for the following week.
The hiring process is in two phases:
1) You initially meet with HR who will ask you a number of cookie cutter questions
2) You meet with your prospective manager and questions are also not that challenging strengths,weakness etc etc

The company gave me a very positive impression as a whole. I understand that operations is not where people thrive, if you will. If you are able to grab a job in one of more desirable divisions do it. The people are bright and motivated.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Sacramento, CA (took 3 days)
I first applied through campus recruiting from my school, and then was selected for an on campus interview. The interview was about 45 minutes long, with the recruiter from HR, and was basically a run through my resume and then standard behavioral questions, finished with questions on my end. After that, I went to the office for my second round, which was another 45 minute interview with a member from HR and a current Fund Accountant, in which I was asked more behavioral questions and also questions about what I was looking for in the position, what kind of growth I was looking for, and what kind of corporate culture I liked. The third round was again at the office, and was two interviews, each with two managers or vice presidents of fund accounting. I was asked some basic knowledge questions about fund accounting, but on the whole it was also a 'fit' interview with some behavioral questions. After that I was telephoned with the offer.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Not much was negotiable except for the start date. State Street goes through tons of Fund Accountants so they basically give you an offer, take it or leave it.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed May 2009 in Boston, MA (took 1 week)
I was referred by an Employee of the firm. I interviews with two people. One was the hiring manager, and the other was one of the people I would be working with. They asked me a few things about my resume, some quick technical questions. Then they asked me about finance questions. An average interview if you ask me.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took a day)
I first applied online through the State Street website. I was then pre selected to come in for interviews and was chosen by individual managers to interview for a specific position. Pre selection was based on your resume but for a position with 500 applicants and 25 spots, knowing someone at the company was crutial.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Quincy, MA (took 6 days)
Applied to the position online, and got a call back a few days later. Went in for an interview the following day. I have to say I wasn't very prepared for the interview, it would have helped to know a little more about the company and the position, but beyond that the interview questions were not too difficult or prying--overall pretty standard interview. I heard they were interviewing over 20 people for one spot, and received an email two days later saying the position had been filled. Ho hum, the position is awful anyway.

Interviewed Jun 2007 in Boston, MA (took 4 days)
Overall, a very quick process. Fresh out of college I applied for jobs online and then I got the phone call from State Street, talked briefly on the phone about myself and then got a 1 on 1 interview 2 days later. After a brief 20 minute interview, they said they would do a background check and get back to me. 2 days after that, they told me the job was mine if I wanted it.

Interviewed Dec 2007 in Boston, MA (took a day)
First contacted on the phone and scheduled a visit to the office. Met with two senior managers and discussed why I wanted the job and what I wanted to do with life and such. No questions on skills or personalities really. The interview process is extremely easy since the position really requires no particular skills and is easily replaceable. Just relax and be yourself and you should have no problem getting the position.

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took 1 week)
It started with a phone interview. The HR person asks some basic questions about your education and work background. Then they schedule you for the face-to-face interview. For me, it was a panel interview with 3 managers. There was also a mini-test on basic finance/accounting principals. And they do a background check.
