Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 1 week)
The first part of the hiring process was a phone interview with one of the Global Human Resource employees. They asked about your interest in State Street, your background and so forth. A few days after you are granted a 1:1 interview. It was with two managers in the area and they questioned you on certain situational experiences. A few days after that I was extended a job offer.
Negotiation Details
No negotiation was available.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 1 week)
Interview consisted of standard questions about background, relevant experience, and personal strengths and weaknesses. Details about the program, salary, location and duration were also provided. Interviewer actually called half an hour earlier than scheduled time for phone interview and that caught me off guard.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Sacramento, CA (took 2 months)
The interview process was pretty simple. Had a 30 min phone interview, discussed my education and experience, then was asked about 3-4 behavioural questions. Did 2 in-person interviews. The first was with a manager for about 40 min, asked a couple technical questions like what is NAV, and what is the difference between a stock and bond, then a few behavioural questions. 2nd interview was with two senior fund accountants, and they pretty much asked the same questions. They called me 2 weeks later to offer the job but I declined.

Reason for Declining
Got a position at a hedge fund by then.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Sacramento, CA (took 4 weeks)
The panel interview was a bit misleading because there was 2 set of 1 on 1 interviews. However we have 10+ people waiting together. Standard behavioral questions and a bit technical questions.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
A simple phone call to state why you want to work there followed by an in person interview with your future managers. I believe it was all behavior based. No hard basically they hire anyone just be sure you don't give them a reason not to.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
It a low salary and there are many other waiting for the same call so you really can't negotiate
