I chatted with BD, did some tests, and then met a PM in person at their SF office. The initial stages were fast, and BD was friendly and helpful. I didn't get a response after talking with the PM though.

Initial call with a Product Manager, we chatted about my coverage and a stock pitch. I also got an overview of their mandate, approach, and team. It was conversational and mostly focused on how I view the world, my thought process, and my diligence and monitoring procedures.

Behavioral Case Technical

The interview process began with a first-round chat with Human Resources, focusing on behavioral and motivational aspects. Following that, a second round involved a case study about a company. This part was more technical and required some prior research, but it was manageable. Typically, there are about 2 to 3 more interviews to go through.
