I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BNY (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
It was really simple interview process, two rounds of interview in total. The company was still in stage of figuring out how to compete with other big names to lure talents. First round was a phone interview directly with hiring manager, then on site to meet the team. I would say BNYM is very selective on selecting candidates for interviews. Out of hundreds of candidates, only 4 were interviewed.

Question 1
Very easy going interview,walk through your resume.
They asked me questions on oops, java fundamentals and one DSA question of reversing an array. Questions were asked related to my projects, since I had used API calling, questions revolved around using API. Then some general questions like why idfc, are you open to relocation were also asked.

Question 1
They asked what is the difference between abstract class and interface.
It was simple, just a screening followed by 2 zoom interviews. I had to prepare with some STAR questions and an elevator pitch. The interviewers were pretty nice overall, and my 2nd round interview felt more of a conversation.

Interview
Cold applied, couple of days later received a first round, a 10-15 minute call discussing more about yourself and whether you qualify for the opportunities, after that they immediately tell you whether you move on to the final round or not. The format was back to back 30 min interview later that week, mostly behavioral with few questions about your classroom learnings and skills using computer.
