I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at State Street (Boston, MA) in May 2015
Interview
Interview was brief. Recruiting process as a whole was terrible. They did not get back to me, and then eventually did. They tried to make me agree to an offer verbally, and lowballed me several times. They also discussed a signing bonus, but I never got one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me if I had a broken bike, how I would fix it
Process consisted of 2 rounds of interview on Teams, both for half an hour. First round was with the Vice President, and 2nd with the Managing Director. Both were very nice and offered a lot of information about the company.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself?
Why this role?
Why State Street?
It was a very memorable start to a wonderful career. Very friendly and frank about the company and what new hires need to be proficient in, to hit the ground running.

Question 1
What I knew about different currencies, investment vehicles, languages.
Relatively straightforward interview process with the initial phone screening with a recruiter then meeting with a AVP/Manager. Mix of general behavioral and technical questions and a breakdown of what’s expected for the role.
