Has anyone recently interviewed for the PIMCO Summer Account manager position. How are the interview questions? Is it standard IM question or mostly technical? Also, can anyone expand on how the different groups operate(i.e Client Services Group, Consulting Relationship groups, Business Development Group)? Thanks.

I have not but I am gunning hard for PIMCO. If I find out anything I will let you know. Are you asking for the MBA position or undergrad/do you have OCR/have you already applied and/or heard from HR?

Prangs, much appreciated I've reached out to alumni there but I want to educate myself a little more before I talk to them. Yes, I have OCR and I've heard back from them. I have an interview for a MBA summer internship in a few weeks. Good luck and I'll let you know if I found out more info about the positions.

PIMCO is very meticulous in its interview. Because they are a lean group of elites, they tend to try to harvest as much information they can out of you. They won't ask too many fit, maybe one or two questions regarding background. However, they will ask a lot of technicals (even in phone interviews) and general macro views, so you'd better prepare so that you know current events, and technicals (alot of Bond Maths, General Finance Technicals, Some math technicals).
Hope this helps. GL

Is this also true of account manager positions as opposed to portfolio management?

Is this also the case for Account Manager position? Kind of confused here. Because based on what they said, this is a pretty client-focused group, and doesn't involve a whole lots of technical work.
Oxon, Yes, this is also true
Oxon,
Yes, this is also true for the Account Manager Position. Even though it is a very client facing role they expect you to know a lot about the macro environment, fixed income and have an opinion. Apparently, they dig pretty deep during the interview. Are you interviewing with them soon?
pedubz, Thanks for the heads
pedubz,
Thanks for the heads up. I just had that interview half an hour ago and can confirm every word you mentioned in there. They would really DIG into your thoughts process. Have you done with your interview?

Prangs,
Take a look at your inbox. I sent you a PM. I'm still waiting to hear back from PIMCO.
i have a superday with PIMCO
i have a superday with PIMCO this coming friday after two rounds of phone interviews. Can anyone perhaps shed a little more light on the questions i can expect. I've brushed up on my fixed income math and stats stuff as well as rounded out the edges on macro outlooks for this coming year. I do not know much about financial technicals or what they could possibly be so if someone can PM me any info, I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks.
