I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at State Street (Boston, MA) in Jun 2015
Interview
I applied online directly on State Street's career page. They called me after 2 days and scheduled an interview. I had the interview with two senior managers, no HR. The interview took 1 hour and they were very friendly and asked mostly behavioral type of questions (around 20 questions). However, they forgot to ask me whether as international student I have my visa or not. I have OPT, when they asked me for my social sec. number and I told them I can only get one if I'm employed, they told me they can't proceed further with the process.
