The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BNY (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2010
Interview
Consisted of a phone interview. Next step was a 1 hour personal interview. After completeing the personal interview I returned for a short 30 minute interview with a EVP. Final interview was with the recruiter that initially contacted me. We spent considerable time goign back and forth on salary offers and other benefits.
the interview with the EVp was a complete sham and a waste of time for both of us.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BNY (New York, NY) in Dec 2009
Interview
7 people over 2 days, one on one, +1 HR meeting for application, benefit descriptions, etc. Offices good (midtown), people ok, a little provincial maybe, seem somewhat cheap.
