I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at State Street (Kansas City, MO)
Interview
Had 2 brief phone screenings. The first was about my educational background, and the second was a few behavioral questions. If you make it past that, they invite you in for an in-person interview. I was interviewed by two men from different teams who had never met each other. They asked some behavioral and some educational background questions. The whole thing was iffy, and the culture in the office seemed weird.

Question 1
What kind of functions have you run in Microsoft Excel?
2 non-HR people interviewed me. Both had never met. Followed a list of questions. Very awkward. Mostly behavioral questions that all tied back to the same idea of "Tell me a time about a certain situation and how you overcame that situation". FYI: They were bailed out in 2008 for $2 billion in 2008. Not even sure why I interviewed there.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you took charge in a situation and how did you handle it?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at State Street (Kansas City, MO) in Nov 2015
Interview
Good, very nice people. They ask you very specific questions using the "star(t)" model. Make sure you know certain functions in Excel such as: VLOOKUP, MACROS, PIVOTABLE, etc. Behavioral interview then ask about what you know about finance.
