Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Northern Trust (Chicago, IL) in May 2012
Interview
Initially referred by an employee and applied on-line. HR called a few weeks later to set-up an in-person interview. Met with three hiring managers who conducted a pretty straight-forward behavioral interview. My referrer said my prospects were good but it took HR several weeks to follow-up with an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very basic behavioral questions, e.g. "Describe a stressful situation at work and how you handled it."
