First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at China Merchant Securities.
Finance Analyst
So, the interview process involved some questions about financial statements (like balance sheet, cash flow statement, income statement), and they asked about my previous internship experience (like detailed operation details in my last internship), plus a self-description. It was just one round, lasting about 15 minutes.
- Could you discuss your prior internship experience, detailing the operations you were involved in?
- Tell me about yourself.
- What are your insights on financial statements such as the balance sheet, cash flow statement, and income statement?
Research Analyst
So the first round was with some department colleagues, we did an intro and some financial technical questions. Then HR had the second round, mostly behavioral stuff. The department head did the third round, digging deeper into my resume, especially my internships, and asking about stock evaluation. The last round was with the CEO.

Research Assistant
So, your supervisor, who will also be your mentor, usually interviews you. After your resume gets accepted, they'll give you a call to set up the interview. You'll first need to prepare a case study based on what the team's currently working on. You should talk about what you think the topic is, give some background, and share your own ideas. This shows you can pick up new stuff and use it. They'll also ask about your past experiences from your resume, so make sure to explain them well and link them to the case you prepped. This is to see how your skills can help their project. They want to check your technical knowledge and how well you communicate, so talk clearly, stay organized, and show you're keen to learn.
- Can you present the case you prepared?
Assistant Accountant
Had an interview with two managers from the finance department. It started with a self-introduction, then the interviewer told me about the job duties and the company structure. Then they asked me some questions, and I got to ask them questions too. The whole thing took about 20 minutes.
- Could you tell me about the CMS?
- What makes you want to apply for this specific job?
- I have some questions for you based on your resume.
