First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at State Street Global Advisors.
Intern
I applied online for the internship. HR reached out a week later for an interview. The HR rep was super helpful in scheduling, especially since I was traveling a long distance. He even called back to let me know two other teams were interested and arranged for all the interviews to be on the same day to make it easier. The interviews themselves were pretty relaxed. They talked about the roles and then just wanted to chat and get to know me. It wasn't as intense as other interviews I've done. I ended up getting offers for all three internships and got to pick the one I liked best.
- What are your long-term career aspirations over the next five years?
Intern
Very friendly interviewers. They look beyond your marks and check your passion and area of interest. There were technical round(s) and a Manager F2F interview. Lots of basic questions on PlSQL, Java and a bit of UNIX. Communication skills are important. The process took 1 day and the result was given 3 days later. Overall a positive experience.
- Can you introduce yourself?
- What are your career aspirations for the next 7 years?
- Could you explain core Java concepts like inheritance, encapsulation, and coding basic programs?
Intern
The interview process lasted for 4 weeks total. I went through 4 rounds of interviews with 4 different people. Three of the interviews were conducted over the phone, and the final one was face-to-face with the hiring manager and someone from talent recruitment. The total time spent in interviews was about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
