Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Got in contact with recruiter through a connection at the firm.
Applied online, initial phone interview with recruiter on basic screening questions.
Followed by an online assessment consisting of several parts.
1) "IQ Test"
2) Reading comprehension/communication
3) Intermediate Accounting questions
4) Personality
5) Video-recorded questions
6) Upload a stock pitch/industry research report you've written.
Followed by two 30-minute interview with associates with about half behavioral half technical.
The online assessment is very comprehensive. It is much longer than many other companies I have applied to, but it is great. People are chill, not so uptight. Got great vibes from everyone I've met in the process, and all seems genuinely bought into the role they have. A very small group in NYC from what I've been told, so potential candidates will have a much better chance applying to the Portland OR location.
Began my process early September. Got a rejection about a week after my interviews with the associates which was late September. Very quick interview process, no waiting around.
