First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Rothschild & Co.
Leadership Program
I had a quick Zoom chat with a first-year analyst. They seemed to be following a script. The conversation was mostly about the market in general, not really about Rothschild specifically. I think it was just to see if I knew what was going on in the market and if I could talk about it. It was pretty standard and structured.
- Can you introduce yourself?
- Could you go over your resume?
Investment Banking Analyst
After submitting my application online, I had a 30-minute first-round interview. This was directly followed by an Assessment Center (AC), which took up most of the day. The AC included a group case study, an individual case study, and an interview with two senior bankers. The questions were mainly about motivation and cultural fit, with some easy technical questions.
- Tell me about your motivations.
- How do you fit with our culture?
- Could you answer a few straightforward technical questions?
Intern
The interview process involved an assessment center with 3 team members. We discussed technical and motivational topics related to valuation, comparables, and financial statements. The whole process took about 3 weeks to get a response after the interview.
- Tell me about DCF.
- What is your understanding of valuation?
- How do you approach comparables?
Investment Analyst
Submitted my online application. Then I had an assessment. After that, I interviewed with two analysts for 30 minutes each, which included a Paper LBO. Next, I had a 72-hour case study on the LBO of a public company. Then, I interviewed with a VP about the mechanics of my model. Finally, I interviewed with an MD.
- Can you describe a deal you were involved in and provide an analysis?
- What is the impact of a gift card on financial statements?
- How does the cost of equity vary with the level of leverage?
