Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group.
Analyst
The interview process was normal and professional, everything was on time and conducted online. It was a two-way conversation and overall a decent experience. It involved a phone call and a virtual interview. Nothing unusual happened. The process was quick, and they arranged it fast. They didn't waste time asking irrelevant questions.
- Could you please share more about your background?
Analyst
The interview was behavioral focused and they really dug into my motivations and future ambitions. I was first contacted by HR via email, then had a phone interview, and finally met with 3 people for the last interview: the MD and 2 EDs, who I met separately and then all together.
- What are your long-term career aspirations?
Summer Analyst
I got the job through applying at my university and then went to the New York office to interview with the team. I met with an analyst, an associate, and a VP. The interview questions were more focused on learning about my background from my resume and getting a feel for me as a person. It felt like they were more interested in whether I would be a good fit for the team for the summer rather than testing my knowledge of the field. There were only a couple of simple technical questions. They want to know what's happening in the market currently.
- Can you state the basic accounting equation?
- What are your predictions for the market in 2016?
