Interviewed Mar 2011 in Boston, MA (took 5 days)
I applied online and received an email three days later to schedule an interview for the following week. When I arrived, there were a dozen candidates interviewing for the same position. I met with two managers who were both very pleasant. They asked behavioral and situational questions. The entire process took less than an hour. Three weeks later I was contacted about a possible position that may be available down the road. Overall, pleasant but very long process to this point.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Boston, MA (took 1+ week)
The hiring process was fairly easy. I sent in my resume for a few different positions and within a few days I received a call from HR. I actually tried to defer my interviews until Jan '11, but I received an email and a call about having an interview set up with Institutional Investment Services for the following week. When I arrived at my interview, I met with 2 different people; one a lower level manager and then an AVP. They asked me fairly easy questions, nothing difficult at all other than weird behavioral questions and how my previous experience matches what they need. Both people were very pleasant to meet with. Within the next few weeks, I received a call with a job offer. I feel this place is a great start and if you don't get promoted within a 1 1/2 years, it's probably time to move on. Definitely a great place to get a big name on your resume and move on if you want to.

Negotiation Details
There was literally no negotiation...believe me, I tried. They are firm with their very stiff in the pockets offer, especially since it is because an entry level job...on top of that, the week I accepted the job they decided they want to lay off 1400 people.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Boston, MA (took 4 days)
A brief phowen screening. Then the very next day teh lady in HR called me back to see if I coudl come in and meet with management later that week. Interview in person was very dry basic, managers were young and were litterally readign off a checklist. It was very disheartening to see such incompetant managers but I needed a job and wanted to move to Boston

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Kansas City, MO (took 2 weeks)
I applied online for the position, they called me in about 5 days and had an unexpected phone interview. That consisted of general interview questions including some technical/Excel related questions. After about a week, they set up an in person interview which was with two managers. It consisted of mostly behavioral questions and took about 45 minutes. That was about a month ago and I am still waiting to hear back from them on their decision.
