I applied through college or university. I interviewed at M&T Bank (Buffalo, NY) in Nov 2012
Interview
Began with a general 30 minute on-campus interview by a local branch manager. These were simple questions about background, career goals and interest in M&T. This was followed by a formal interview several weeks later at HQ in Downtown Buffalo. First I met with an HR Representative, who discussed in depth the program. This was followed by 3 additional interviews in the specific Department I was applying for (Commercial Payment Solutions). Questions were specific to my background and skill set. There were no surprise questions or technical banking questions.
