Clarification: I just did the interview so I don't know about any offers yet.
After sending in my resume and and cover letter, I was invited to the initial interview which took place on campus. I was interviewed by a branch manager, not the recruiter, and it was very casual. Simple questions such as, "why do you want to get into banking?" Also, "why m&t?" You'll talk a little about your background and have the opportunity to ask the interviewer any questions such as what their experience with m&t has been like. Not stressful at all. After we finished he told me that if I don't hear back within a month then to shoot him an email and he could work something out.
The Standard Behavioral/Experience Questions. Want to see you’re involved and motivated on campus. Study up on your resume and you will be okay. GPA of 3.0 at minimum for most positions. Rotation of experience.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at M&T Bank
Interview
First round video interview was similar to other bank positions. Not too challenging. First round was with recruiter and rounds to follow are with team members and other senior managers.

Question 1
Why M&T Bank? What makes you unique for this position? Tell me about yourself.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at M&T Bank (Buffalo, NY)
Interview
Literally a terrible interview process. Applied online and was emailed by a recruiter there to set up an interview. Literally the most uninterested employee who seemed so mad. Asked zero relevant questions to the job, and halfway through realized she was asking me questions for a different role. It’s all behavioral and situational stuff but just a terrible interview, recruiter obviously didn’t want to be there.
