Interviewed Jun 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
The Interview questions consisted more about the personality and how I'd fit it with the team rather than focusing on the Job Skills. The HR set me up for interview with 3 different person on the same day. The Manager, the Senior Consultant and the Recruiter herself. The Hiring Manager spend more time on describing the position itself rather than asking me questions.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
New business opportunity generated several new positions. Very friendly and the head of the team conducted the interview. Relaxed yet a definite information sharing session. Come with your industry knowledge at your finger-tips, don't expect to just fluff it. Entry level positions used to include full training but no longer. This is the major sticking point with folks arriving on the floor - no consistency with the hiring process and it is either feast or famine. Perhaps laying off half the HR Department wasn't such a good move several years ago.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The interview was for a position that I was unqualified for. They would have hired me but I knew it wasn't right so pulled self from contention.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Alameda, CA (took 3 weeks)
I applied online through the SSB careers website and got a call from HR one week later. Interview consisted of a 20-minute phone interview with the HR person where I was given the chance to share my background and interest. HR was friendly and was open to any questions I had about the company and the specific role. I received a call back from HR about a week after the phone interview asking me to come in for an on-site interview. On-site interview consisted of a 15 minute casual one-on-one interview with the HR person, and a 1-hour group/panel interview with three managers. Interview questions were straight forward. Most questions were based on my previous experience, and behavioral questions were also asked. I received an offer two weeks after the group/panel interview. Overall, it was a positive experience.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Negotiation was impossible. Consider State Street only as a place to get financial services experience, but not as a place to stay for long term.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
first, there was an interview with two associates from another group. after that, there was a one-on-one with the manager for that position. the interview itself was very laid back and both parties were very easy going. the office is a very professional setting, as are the people who represent the company. work culture is very driven and the people you work with are motivated.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Sydney (Australia) (took 5 weeks)
I applied online on 2nd June 2011, got a 30 mins phone interview from HR a week later. The phone interview consists of both normal interview questions and behavious questions( no technical Q here!) I then got another call from HR to schedule an interview with 2 account managers on 27th june. It was a friendly one hour interview that consists of most behavious questions. I passed the first interview, and been scheduled the second interview with both account manager and assistant Unit head a week later (on 4th July). The second interview was relatively more serious, but overall was ok. It took me 40 mins and consists of most behavious questions.
After a long wait, about two week and a half, i got the offer! Thank god!

Interviewed May 2011 in Sacramento, CA (took a day)
On campus interview, then e-mail the next week to meet with a large group of other candidates where we were shown a history video then divided up to be interviewed by one or two managers. Everyone who interviewed me seemed like they hated being there and weren't very encouraging.

Interviewed May 2011 in Sacramento, CA (took 1 week)
Single interview on college campus. Then on site interview with hiring managers. 1 manager for 1 hour and then 2 others for another hour. Company looks for people capable of learning their ways so you can fit into the position well. Position looks great for entry level and seems like hiring of fund accountants is very cyclical.

No negotiation...easy to pick if you have no other offers.
