The process was pleasant and they don't ask you anything you shouldn't know. There were a few phone interviews; the first was about me and my resume (personal questions), and the last two were more technical interviews.

Technical Behavioral

Applied through campus recruiting. The first round had two 30 minute phone calls with a VP and the head recruiter. One call was technical and the other was behavioral. The interviewers were nice and the vibe was very laid back. They asked about why IB, why Atlanta, and why STRH.

Behavioral Technical

I applied through a resume drop on the Career Services website. The first step was a quick 15-minute phone screening with one person. It included some really basic questions like an elevator pitch, why SunTrust and why Atlanta, and how you would value a company.
