Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 weeks)
The hiring process consisted of 3 rounds of interviews. For me, the first was with senior leaders in the group (3 of them), the second was with managers (4 of them), and the last was with the top executive of the group (1 person). All were 1:1.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 weeks)
I applied for the teller position online and received an email to complete employment screening. 6 days later, I received an email telling me to call to schedule an appointment (in 2-3 days time). The group interview was scheduled and I had to bring to 2 copies of my resume and dress "as a business professional." The group interview had about a dozen other people, some of them also college graduates. We watched a 15 minute video about the corporate culture and processes for customer service positions. The interviewer then asked the same question of each of the candidates. This was frustrating, as by the time you reach the twelfth person, the answers are no longer original or unique sounding, and this caused some people to become flustered. The interviewer made brief notes and did her best not to rush people, though she got through it as quickly as she could while still being polite. Over two weeks later, I had a one on one interview at a local branch. It seemed to go well and the interviewer was nice. Never heard from them again - not even a thanks, but no thanks.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Union City, CA (took 4 weeks)
1. Online application: Applied online for available openings.
2. Set up phone interview - 20 min. max. basic get to know you questions. sales and/or customer service oriented
3. Group interview: had to stand up and answer a series of several (5-6) sales and customer service oriented questions. (**just as an fyi, you're not competing w/the group, keep in mind that the company is staffing for multiple locations) make sure your responses are work related and emphasize those skills as opposed to divulging personal stories/accounts
4. 1:1: interview at the branch w/branch and service manager. again, customer service and sales oriented, however, questions are more in-depth. ie - what was the largest sum you found your drawer to be in a deficit of?

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Berkeley, CA (took a day)
It was a simple behavioral interview with the standard fare like - "Tell me about a time when you faced a challenging situation and how you overcame it." The interviewer didn't seem particularly interested, and it wasn't exactly sure what skills/abilities they were looking for. Because I didn't know what they were looking for, I gave my typical answers and unfortunately wasn't called back for a 2nd round interview.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
Position was posted on internal job site; I submitted my resume via the online channel and, about 3 weeks later, was contacted by the hiring manager to set up an interview. The initial interview was conducted over the phone with the hiring manager. The following week, I was contacted by that manager to set up a second interview with his manager. The second interview was also a phone interview as the manager was in a different state. I received a call from the hiring manager a few days later saying that they were down to two candidates and I was one of them. The deciding factor was going to be the salary requested. After submitting my salary requirements, I received a call a couple hours later from the manager, offering me the job.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
No; I would definitely suggest being more vocal about salary requirements and not submitting to the hiring manager's first offer. I could be making a lot more.
