I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northern Trust (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2015
Interview
The process started with an on-campus interview with a member of HR, and then moved on to a second round at the office. At the on campus interview, the HR rep asked questions to assess my finance knowledge (define ROE, talk about the differences between an Income Statement and a Balance Sheet, what are they used for, what was the price of NT stock that morning, etc.) The HR rep also asked about my leadership and internship experience. During the second round, I interviewed with two team leads and two upper managers in the group over 2 hours.

Phone interview was the basic screening process asking about goals, salary requirements, basic qualifications, etc. Only took about 15 minutes.
