The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

It was a pretty chill and flexible interview process. Since my background was in computer science, I found it a bit challenging, but if you've spent a good amount of time getting finance concepts down, it'd likely be easier for you.Candidate-reported process
The interview process was okayish, mostly competency-based questions which weren't too bad to answer. The rest of the questions were fine as well, I think.Candidate-reported process
We started with two online assessments covering behavioral, situational judgement, logic, graph analysis, and pre-recorded questions. This was followed by an assessment center with three 40-minute interviews. Each interview included motivational, skill-based, and technical questions, with the technicals being similar to those for an investment banking position. Some questions focused on structured finance, but most were theoretical.Candidate-reported process
