Technical Case Behavioral
After submitting my application on the group's job site, I had a first interview. It lasted 2.5 hours with a senior analyst: presentation, technical questions in financial analysis, 2 case studies (English and French) then a debrief. And a second interview was scheduled with the manager. The manager only asked a few questions, a very brief 20-minute interview.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- How would you analyze balance sheets, P&L, and cash flow statements?
- Are there any tricky questions in financial analysis?
- Can you present a case study in English?
