Behavioral
The interview process wasn't technical, focusing instead on your demonstrated interest in investing and strong behavioral skills. It involved an initial screening call, a first round interview, and a final "superday" at the NY office. The recruiting team was very communicative, and overall, it was a good experience with the team.

Behavioral
It was all behavioral interviews, no technical ones, and focused on checking if I was a good fit with standard "tell me about a time when..." questions. Started with a phone screen and then had a superday with three interviews back to back. Overall it went smoothly.

Behavioral Technical
It was a 4 round interview process. Everyone was nice until the 3rd round. I met with a manager who asked me questions that had nothing to do with my prior work history. He was extremely self-absorbed and egotistical and mansplained to me. I noticed everyone on the team was male and I would be the only female. If you are a woman, I'd suggest you stay away from this company. It was a complete waste of time and the compensation wasn't the best.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Could you explain your interest in this position?
