First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Guggenheim Partners.
Analyst
I would avoid this company. I had an interview with a senior person and they were the rudest interviewer I've ever encountered. They would openly raise their voice and call me stupid, among other things. The questions themselves were pretty easy, but dealing with them was very difficult.
- What is your motivation for seeking this position?
Summer Analyst
I had about 3-4 interviews before the super day. It was a good time meeting the team and the whole process was very smooth. The super day itself consisted of 4 interviews, scheduled back-to-back for 30 minutes each, and I also had to complete a case study.
- What is your valuation method for an apple tree?
Programme Analyst
The expansion of the economy has been like a healthy tortoise – slow but steady. As of December, the expansion is in its ninth year, making it the third longest expansion since 1900. Growth accelerated in the third quarter after firming in the second. Rebuilding following natural disasters and tax reform should add to growth. That said, U.S. growth may be limited moving forward by structural constraints. The economy should grow faster moving into 2018. Growth should accelerate and stabilize through the end of 2018, reflecting a pick-up in exports, inventories, government spending and fiscal stimulus through tax reform. Stronger investment spending and an improving global economy should also be tailwinds.
