First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at New York City Economic Development Corporation.
Associate
So, the interview process went like this: first, a quick screening call with HR, then a phone call with the departmental chief of staff. After that, I had to complete a take-home case study. Then, I had an in-person interview with a senior and a mid-level team member. Finally, a second in-person interview with two senior team members.
- Can you tell me about the lease cash flow model you created for the case study?
Senior Associate
We started with an initial screening call with the HR hiring manager. Then, there were two separate interviews with the team leads, followed by another interview with two peers on the team. After that, I had a case study assignment to complete, and the final round would have been an interview with the managing director of the team.

There were two rounds of interviews. The first was a 20-minute phone call with a recruiter. Then, a 40-minute Zoom interview with a panel of AVPs and Senior Associates from my hiring department. The questions were clear and the process was straightforward.
