I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at KeyBank
Interview
Initial call was quick and mostly focused on qualitative questions (Why KeyBank?, Why investment banking?, Have you applied anywhere else?). There can be quite a lag of time between callbacks (mine took several weeks). Second interview seemed to revolve around fit for the team.

Interview
I had interview first with an analyst, then heard back about a week later and had another interview with an associate and with an MD. The whole interview process seemed to move quickly and not be very structured given they were looking to hire someone to join immediately.
