MBA Summer Internship
General Interview Information
Interview Details
One week before my interview, I got another e-mail setting up my interview session. The interview was done at the local office via teleconference. Interesting, other individuals who I know were being interviewed were asked to come to the main corporate office in Great Falls to interview, instead of teleconferences. Not sure why it was different for my account.
Since I had less than a week to prepare for the interview, I did a fair amount of research on the company as well as brush up on current events and basic finance concepts. I ended up interviewing 3 on 1, which was quite awkward via teleconference. Sadly, the interview was entirely "fit" questions as well as questions about by previous education and work experience (which is nowhere near finance relevant). I transitioned from a non-business degree and non-relevant government job, so I didn't think they would have been so concerned about those aspects compared to my current experience and schooling.
Overall the interviewers seemed nice, and I've heard good things from other individuals who had interned before. Given the location, the company is a very good entry point for individuals who don't have access to larger capital areas (i.e. New York, San Fran, ect.). The only downside I can see is much of their business is based on individual brokerage, which very small groups in other areas (equity research, investment banking, ect.). They also seem to move slowly with their recruitment / hiring process. I won't hear about an offer or rejection for another month or so (late March).
