Technical Case
I went through a three-round interview process, but the lack of communication from HR really hurt the experience. I passed multiple stages, but HR never responded to my follow-ups. After waiting more than a month with no news, it made the whole candidate experience bad. They need to communicate better and faster.

Behavioral Technical Case
So for the investment analyst role, the interview was pretty straightforward. They really want to see how good you are with quantitative analysis and will ask about your background and experience. Be ready to chat about it. They also hit you with a data situation mid-interview, which was kind of tough, but not the hardest I've seen, though definitely not the easiest.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Could you elaborate on your background in data analysis?
- Describe your experience with quantitative analysis.
- Walk me through a challenging situation you faced involving data analysis.

Case Technical Coding
I applied with my resume after the university career fair and had my first interview at my school. It was a brief case interview with math problems. The next day, I had two more interviews: a business case interview and a coding case interview. Finally, they flew me out for a 2-day onsite visit. They paid for my flight and hotel, and I met almost everyone. They hosted a banquet, presentations, and team exercises. All my meals and transportation were covered. The company seems to really value their employees with good pay and nice dinners, but honestly, a lot of the people there were really unpleasant and condescending. They definitely seem to look for a specific type of person; I even saw someone without an ivy league degree get ignored.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- What is the expected value?
- Can you walk me through a case interview concerning programming and sorting?
