General Interview Information
Interview Details
I had a difficult first round phone interview which included behavioral questions and my thoughts on the news over the past few days (he wanted to know my thoughts on Alibaba as it had just IPO'd).
The next interview was in person with two different associates which mainly involved back of the envelope math/accounting questions. For example, I was asked to explain whether Uber would be profitable in New York by going through all their expenses, potential revenue, etc.
My final round consisted of two interviews with VPs who asked me technical finance questions and brainteasers. For example, I was asked what would change about the discount rate if I was to invest in an international airlines company as opposed to American Airlines.
Ultimately, the people were intelligent and friendly, but it took several months to hear back and they didn't want to give me an answer even months later. I told them I had a competing offer and they simply told me they weren't ready to decide, so I took the other job.
