Applied via standard job board listing with standard resume, no cover letter. Got an email to set up a first round phone interview. Interviewed with a regional director. Went well.

Process took a couple weeks. Two behavioral phone interviews. Superday consisted of two interviews. One technical one behavioral. Overall a pretty easy process, got the offer three days after. Basic questions about programming and technologies that would be used in the job. Behavioral questions were classic. Why US bank? Why technology? Name a time you failed at something and what it taught you. Name a time you had to work in a group, what did you learn? Very easy interview process, especially if you have a reasonably good grasp on how to answer basic behavioral questions. Would say the whole process took 3 weeks. Overall, good experience.

Group Interview
Interview
First there was an initial on campus interview that was more general. I interviewed with multiple people (similar to a superday) and that was about it. About a week later I was invited in to interview with multiple groups. Each of these interviews would be pretty specific to each group, so I would advise that you only accept interviews for roles you actually want. After that they extend final offers.
Interview Questions
The most difficult question asked was what direction I would take the company and then I had to justify my response with metrics that your decision could be measured by. For example, if you said that they should reintroduce an IB division you would need to be able to tell them how this fits in to the overall market environment, the revenue that it would generate, how this would position the bank against its peers, etc. As long as your response is decently well thought out it is not hard at all, but make sure you know the background on the company beforehand.

Background Check
Interview
A phone screen interview took place first. Basic HR style question regarding behaviour (strengths/weaknesses) and what I bring to the table (past experience and skill set).

Once approved, an in-person interview was set up with initially 4 people but ended up being 5.

Everyone asked approximately the same questions as it seemed they had an HR/Department sheet of questions to ask. Basic questions to start off: Tell me about yourself. Why this position? Some of the more difficult questions were: give me a time when you made a mistake and how did you resolve? Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? How good are your technical skills, give me an example. What did you not like about your last job? Why did you leave your last job?

After the interview was up - the last person indicated that I would be made an offer most likely and should hear from them in a few days. Rightfully, I heard from them in 2 days time with the good news and salary/benefits information. Was asked to go to the branch to fill out my information (yes, branch for the corporate office job) for background checks. I was told that if I do not hear back within 3 days that's good news.

From the date of the interview until the first day for the start of my job was 2 weeks exactly. I applied a week before. Heard almost immediately from the HR (luck and timing!).

Interview
I applied to the Structured Finance Internship program online. About two-weeks later I received an interview request. First round phone with an HR intern
Interview Questions
There weren't any difficult or unexpected interview questions asked. However, the position was in Minneapolis, so the recruiter asked why I wanted to work there. Personally, I don't want to work there, just wanted the job and so it was hard to answer properly. Other questions were behavioral and role-based. No technical questions and nothing too difficult.
