It was very efficient and informative. The questions were adequate. I interviewed with four people. They asked a lot of really good questions. Some questions were based on behaviors and some questions were behavioral.

Behavioral Technical
Interviews happened in multiple rounds, and there was a long time with no communication. Emails sent to HR and recruitment teams were not responded to at all. I had a phone screen, then a phone interview, then a face-to-face with one VP, followed by another VP who was the first VP's peer, and then a third VP who said I was "IN" and that this last round was just a formality. After that, I got an email two weeks later saying they picked someone internal.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was awful and disjointed. It was way too long, and I had to return for additional interviews because people weren't available on the scheduled days. There was no acknowledgment or apology for the inconvenience. It's surprising that a company of State Street's size and stature expects to attract talented people when the initial impression is such a mess.
