Interview
I applied online after getting a tour of the HQ office in Conshohocken as part of my post-graduate program. After applying, I was invite for a Hire Vue where they asked mostly behaviorals and some questions around your thought process (e.g., how would you value a car wash, what are some trends in finance you're following, etc.). About 2-3 weeks after the Hire Vue, I was invited to a Superday with a 2-hour networking session the day before. The Superday consisted of another 40 minute networking session before the Superday. The first part of the superday was a 45-minute technical interview based on a case study we were given 5 days to work on. The next part was a 45-minute behavioral.
Interview Questions
What do you make thinks a good analyst? The questions around the case study were pretty in-depth, so definitely think of all areas the interviews could poke holes in your case study and prepare for those.
