Interview
Submitted my application online. Was invited to phone interview. Short 15 minute talk to understand my motivation for the firm. Then eight thirty minute interviews at company location.
Interview Questions
I had to explain the differences to the Income statement and the balance sheet if a company owned or leased their ships. This was with pen and paper, and every step was scrutinized by the interviewers. After this they asked several questions regarding familiar multiples. What does it mean if the P/B is less than one, how does the market then perceive the company's assets? How would the P/E and EV/EBITDA change if one of two completely similar companies suddenly decided to take on 100m extra in debt?

Interview
I got a call from the director and she asked me about my resume and why I wanted to work at Dana-Farber
Interview Questions
She asked about my organization skills and asked me to rate them from 1-10. After rating them she asked me to give an example of that time when I showed my ability to multi-task. She asked how good i am with people and if I am an introvert or an extrovert. It was a fairly easy interview because she was very busy and wanted to know my strenghts to put me in a department as soon as possible. After that I went to do a medical exam and got the offer. Boston is a great place to work and Dana-Farber is a great hospital as well.
