Interview
First time I heard about Fifth Third was when I saw their application on Handshake and applied. This was in early June. A few days later, I got an email from a recruiter asking to set up a phone screening. This screening got scheduled for the middle of June. It was a 30 minute call with the recruiter where she asked all basic behaviorals and gave me a background on the internship, asked my location preferences and group preferences. The interview process was all the same for Capital Markets, Asset Backed Finance, and Investment Banking, so she let me rank the three. I put investment banking first and she said she would send my application to the IB team first and they had the opportunity to pass on it before it would go to my next choice and so on. She was great, spoke very highly of the culture. After this interview, I began networking with analysts at Fifth Third. Everyone was very easy to get in contact with and happy to speak with me. Happier to help and more willing to speak than at any other bank by far. Spoke very highly of the culture and WLB. Most were based in Charlotte and were generalist M&A. Had about 10 calls total across capital markets and IB, 4 in IB specifically. After every round of the interview process I updated all of these people and they all responded offering help and advice on next steps. All seemed super cool and supportive. The recruiter told me that superdays would happen near the end of July and offers would go out the first week in August. I got a superday scheduled at the end of July. 2 interviews with and analyst and an associate in each one. Super chill, virtual, two of the guys were in polos, not even dress shirts. Mix of behaviorals and technicals in both of them. Pretty standard both. All very nice. Got my offer for Charlotte at the end of the first week of August. Charlotte was not my first choice city, but they said all of their interns would be in Charlotte this year.
Interview Questions
1. Tell me about a time you had to deal with something that was not fair and how you responded to it?
2. What is the biggest way you have changed over the past 2 years?
3. They also asked some middle market specific M&A questions that I was not prepared for, but had good answers for them. I do not remember exactly what they were but think, "Which of these scenarios would be better for a middle market company looking at an acquisition?"
4. Tell me about a time you worked on a project where you had to use your knowledge of the markets and economy?
