I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BNY (Boston, MA) in Dec 2012
Interview
I met with 5 people. The interview felt laid back as they really tried to get a feel for who you are. Obviously they got to the questions that test whether or not you have the experience necessary for the role. But it did not feel like I was being tested. You can tell they realize how important personality is and the ability to clique with the group. Certainly not overwhelming for an interview involving so many people.

Bar Raiser is also a technical round - the HR/ panelist are not clear on what to ask - so ask technical questions and not able to articulate the answer
