Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
My initial interview with Simmons was with the Director of HR for about an 1 hour. She was very professional, and I was able to learn a lot more about Simmons from this interview. After that, I recieved a phone call to have an office interview, which lasted approximately 3-4 hours. In the office interview, I met with four different people (two managing directors, a VP, and an associate). Although the interviews were challenging, they were fair and they did not ask any irrelevant questions just for the sake of it. I would advise people interviewing at Simmons to be knowledgable about any relevant finance questions and their finance/accounting clases (typical investment banking interview questions). In addition, I would advise people to be very knowledgable about their resumes and to be able to talk clearly and accurately about their past internships. I was asked several questions about my internship and what I was able to learn from it and how that would help me at Simmons. Overall, the people I interviewed with were very professional and were a great reflection of Simmons.
