The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PNC Financial Services Group (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2010
Interview
1v1 on the phone. Asked about PNC, what LOB you want, where do you think interest rates are heading (read the news and enjoy finance you'll be fine) Second Round consisted of a superday in Pittsburgh; 4 separate 2 on 1 interviews.
"Tell me about yourself",
"Tell me about a mistake you made and how you dealt with it"
"Walk me through how income flows through the balance sheet"
"Describe how a recession would impact the balance sheet of a manufacturing company"
"Where are interest rates heading"
"Why would a company issue debt instead of equity"

I applied through university. I interviewed at PNC Financial Services Group
Interview
Hirevue and then two 30 minute final round interviews. Was told I’ll hear back within the next month. Mostly focused on behavioral and not so much technical. PNC is huge in culture so they need to see if they get along with you.

Question 1
Describe a time how you reacted to negative feedback
Mostly behavioral questions with a few simple technicals. First it was an in person interview at my school and then they flew me out for a super day where it was more technical questions with multiple people interviewing.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PNC Financial Services Group
Interview
Very nice people. First round phone interview, second they invite you to super day in Pittsburgh. Fairly easy interview one technical and the rest behavioral. Ended up calling in for super day because I was abroad and they accommodated. Got a phone call roughly a week later saying they had chosen other candidates. Although I didn't get the job, it was a great learning experience and a good company to interview for.
