Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I applied via my university's career site and received a request to interview roughly two weeks later. The interview was with someone senior in the firm and was almost entirely based around a case study. The case study is not theoretically challenging; it tests your critical thinking and algebra skills, mostly, as well as some pretty basic financial comments. However, they are looking for rather particular answers, and will redirect you onto the track that they want. That is where I imagine most mistakes are made. It is easy to be stuck on something you weren't initially thinking of, and are not as intuitively comfortable in answering.
