You will have to be prepared to be quizzed on some basic accounting knowledge. Usually it's fairly simple and easy. Once you pass quiz, you will be brought to meet the department directors and start the interview process. However, if you are failing the quiz and you probably will only get to meet with the HR personnel and you will be sent home for follow up. That most likely means that they just turned you down from the job selection.

Question 1
I personally don't think that there are any type of questions that are difficult. Again, the quiz contains very simple accounting concept which everyone should know from college. Sometimes they may ask you questions more specifically about how you understand the tax adjustment concepts etc.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at State Street (Munich, Bavaria) in June 2018
Interview
Chaotisch. Mehrere Personen kamen sich gegenseitig in den Weg, der eigentliche Teamleiter konnte gar keine Fragen stellen. Ansonsten sehr alter Standard, es wurde zB nach meinen Stärken und Schwächen gefragt, was heutzutage schon längst out ist.
