I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at M&T Bank (Rockville, MD) in Feb 2020
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter to set up an initial interview. She asked all the normal first interview questions. She then emailed me a few days later that I had it to the next round. M&T flew me out to one of their Maryland branches where I had a day-long interview event. There were 3 of us total and met with people currently in the program at a random M&T Bank branch, had lunch, and then went to the headquarters building. We were supposed to have three 45 minute interviews, but it ended up being 1 hour-long interview with three people.
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 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.
