Summer Analyst

Numerical, verbal and personality exam was very long (~2 hours) with multiple stages.

First round interview was with head of operations. Covered why I wanted to work in IB and my expectations from the role. Focused on my ability to work under pressure and long hours.

Second round interview with partner from the firm. Before my interview I was told to prepare for technical questions covering infrastructure related transactions (i.e. toll roads). However, during my interview we did not cover any technicals rather spent time going through my CV and the partner seeing how my personality would incorporate into the team.

Final round with head of London office in person. Got to meet some of the team in the London office. Interview involved questions about my time at university and technical questions.

Perceptions of people was that everyone is very nice and supportive but that the Canadian employees expect harder work and can be harsher than their London counterparts.
