Candidate-reported interview process

Started with a case round with the recruiter, then had a case round with two analysts. They took a while to get back though. It was a good case round.

This role had a series of case interviews. You should also be ready for questions about your perspective on good investments and how to identify them. They also asked if I had a personal investing account and if I had a few stocks I could discuss.

I submitted my application online and then received an invitation for the first interview round. The initial round felt like a consulting interview, focusing on estimating US egg consumption, and it wasn't particularly challenging. I didn't receive any feedback afterward.
