The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BB&T in Feb 2011
Interview
The woman who interviewed me was extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable. She had a packet of behavioral questions she asked. She apologized for not being able to look at me, because she had to write down word for word my responses to the questions. About 4 weeks after the interview, I had to take an online personality test which took about an hour. A couple weeks after completing that, I got an e-mail saying I am not considered for the next round of interviews.

Question 1
Give an example of when you had to persuade someone to do something.
I applied for the Leadership Development Program - Analyst Role through my schools recruit board. I was notified by BB&T that I was selected for the first round interview a week or two later. I have only had a first round interview so far but it was fairly simple - the questions asked were your typical behavioral questions.

Question 1
Describe a time where your leadership abilities were tested.
Had a first round interview on campus. It was very basic behavioral questions and some why BB&T type questions. About a week later I was contacted to take a few personality tests. After that I was flown out to their headquarters in Winston Salem where I had one day of interviews. There was small written portion followed by two behavioral interviews. They are really trying to find fit more than anything.

Applied online and received a call to come in for an interview. Interviewed with a BB&T employee who had gone through the LDP a few years ago. Interview lasted about an hour and a half and was pretty straightforward and behavioral.
