Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 1 week)
I had the phone interview and passed that,the following week the group interview with three other people.The regional was there along the lady who conducted the interview. She questioned my resume in front of three other people about my job title and the name of bank before the merger. I knew then it was over, I wanted to walk out, but that wouldn't look professional. I felt if she had a question ,she should of talked to me on the side. I was so embarrassed in front of the others.It was a very demeaning experience. If you are offered the job, be prepared to commit yourself to some very intense training and your personal life will be hold for a long time. Cold calling nights, selling products that you know the client doesn't need just to make a sale. I did this job 13 yrs ago, and now I am not qualified.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 1 week)
I applied online and filled out a standard application, personality/skills test. A recruiter contacted me several days later and scheduled a phone interview for me. I had my phone interview, which was simple and short. She scheduled a 1:1 interview with me for the following day, and it consisted of one person interviewing, while another observed and wrote my responses down. This interview took an hour and included a tour. Everyone seemed pleasant, and honest.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I posted an internal job application for a lateral position. I knew the hiring manager which made the processes much more painless. The two other internal positions I had applied I was sent generic thanks but no thanks email.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I didn't want to lock into a 1 year commitment since I was waiting on a promotion in current role which was promised but didn't happen. If I could go back I would have taken the position working for the manager I knew
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 4 weeks)
It was a very long interview process. I had way too many interviews. The group was very buerocratic. I was not impressed with the team. No one seemed excited about the work they are doing. The manager was a 20-year employee who had never worked anywhere else. The salary and benefits were decent.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I received a call from a recruiter who then asked me several questions relating to Customer Service scenarios and how I would deal with them. She then told me that I passed the first phase of the interview process and told me I should be hearing from a branch manager within 2 days. If I did not, I should call her back. Well, 2 days went by and didn't hear from a branch manager. I called the recruiter back and she then gave me a number of a branch manager to interview with. I had to leave several messages as the branch manager did not call me back. Two days later I tried calling again and this time was connected to him. He told me he was not hiring and that he would pass my information on to another branch manager. I also had a difficult time contacting the next branch manager. This, also, took a few days. I was finally able to meet with him and another employee. They liked my answers and forwarded my resume on to the District Manager. I had an interview set with him. I arrived early and waited a half hour when one of the tellers informed me that he had an emergency and would not be able to make the interview. Another interview was set up and I thought the interview went well.
I did not hear anything for a week and decided to contact the Branch Manager. Once again, I left several messages for him. He did not return my calls so I decided to email him and let him know that I was still interested in the position. He finally called back and told me that the District Manager does not like to hire Personal Bankers from the outside. He prefers to offer the position to inside staff. I would need to start off as a teller. I told him that would be wonderful. He told me he would get back to me and I never heard a word from him again.
I thought the whole process was confusing and a waste of my time.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
It was a 2:1 interview with one employer working in Sales & Trading and the other in Investment Banking. They were very friendly and asked many behavioral and a few technical questions. They mainly focused on who you were (resume/activities overview), how well you expressed your answers and communicated, and if you had basic knowledge of the market and industry.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
the correspondence with this company was very lackluster, almost as if they were apathetic in filling the position i applied for. while follow-up for my second interview was rapid, the first left me with an overall sense of confusion.
