1 on 1 Interview
Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I participated in the full-time analyst accelerated recruiting process for the M&A group that occurred in September 2013 (it actually happened much earlier in 2014 - during the first 2 weeks of August). Very fast process, one first round interview with 2 interviewers followed by Superday two days later in the NY office with 5 back-to-back interviews. Offers were extended a few hours after Superday finished. There were more technical questions than typical BB interviews and very few standard, off-the-guide type of questions. My interviewers drilled into treatment of NOLs and SBC etc. but overall I'd say they def do not expect you to know everything they ask and just wanna see how you handle something you might not be too familiar with. 2 interviews on Superday were really fit-focused . In my case, we talked about basketball for like a good 10 minutes or so. I'd say the culture of the firm is very good for a bank. People are generally very friendly and respectful towards one another. The proportion of analyst who stay for a third year is also much higher than at a typical bank, which could be a direct result of the collegial culture.
