I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at State Street (Boston, MA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Straight forward questions, no conundrums or anything to trip you up, interviewer very friendly and personable. They don't try to trip you up by presenting something out of the blue to test your reflexes. The questions were common sense and tried to measure how logically you think and what you think of the company.
