In the dark ages, I did coding and systems work for a large money center bank. Hiring back then was at most three interviews - a team member, manager and perhaps the next manager up. There were no "tests," though pertinent questions were asked - often related to the hardware/development environment and familiarity with business and process. I don't recall any of the people that I worked with directly, or knew from other groups, being incompetent.
