Interview
I submitted my application online and follow up with emails to one of the associates. I had an informational call with him and then was given an interview a couple of weeks after.

The interview consisted of submitting a past model/presentation you had worked on and then very light technical skills such as walk me through the 3 statements and other basic questions. Most of it was behavioral.
Interview Questions
This was by far one of the easiest interviews with very little technical questions so the most difficult would be when the interviewer asked me to pitch a stock to him.

This was a fairly basic question but after giving my pitch the interview was followed up my answer with a lot of very specific and detailed questions surrounding the company. These follow-up questions included questions surrounding their financial situation, future plans, valuation, and questions surrounding the industry of the company.
