Group Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Recruiter scouted me on LinkedIn and connected me to the hiring manager. This was followed by an initial phone screen which consisted of conversation (rapport building), my presentation of transaction experience and Q&A about the role. It went positively and I was immediately prompted to schedule a 2nd phone interview with Senior Director. I discussed my background, my industry interests and transaction experience, etc. Both interviews were almost entirely fit based. I was asked to fly out for an in person interview that took place 2 weeks later. This was a typical Super Day in which I interviewed with the analysts, the associates, the VPs, and the directors. The entire interview was much more fit based than technical and focused more on my industry knowledge, interests as well as my transaction experience. I believe that this is generally because the associate role at Arbor has a heavy business development component.
