Social Finance Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was long and in depth. It began with an HR screening, followed by a take-home case given a week to complete, then a case presentation/interview, a panel behavioral interview, and an HR feedback session. Finally, there was one last behavioral interview. Despite receiving positive feedback throughout, I ultimately did not get the offer.

It was a pretty standard interview process, though things seemed a bit hectic and disorganized in the background. The questions were typical for a consulting role. They had three rounds all in one day: an initial get-to-know-you chat, a math reasoning test, and then a panel interview where I had to present a case study. Interestingly, while I was in one of the sessions, most of the staff in the next room were cheering for a tennis game. A manager even got up and left my panel interview midway through. Honestly, it felt unprofessional.

The interviews themselves were fine. When they were finally set up. Weeks later than expected. It took several more than a month before I was invited for my first interview. Thereafter it was almost 2 months before I heard back. Granted, Covid had just hit so I gave benefit of doubt. But thereafter it was a series of following up, being told to expect feedback or an interview date within a certain time frame, not hearing back within said time frame and it took another month just to get an interview date. After the 2nd interview I didn't hear back for almost 2 months and it was the same back and forth. I felt really disappointed in the process. In the end I had to pull out of the process but felt I had wasted so much time and emotional energy.

The interview process started with a phone screen. After that, I had an onsite interview which included two behavioral interviews, a quantitative case interview focusing on market sizing, and a case presentation where I had to present on a case I was given beforehand.
