IBD Summer Analyst - Coverage
General Interview Information
Interview Details
**Activity 1**
The first activity was a case study, which was fairly easy. It included a SWOT analysis and some simple ratio calculations. All information is provided, and you can complete it without knowing what EBITDA etc. is but I would recommend practising before.
**Activity 2**
Group exercise. Here you are asked to each argue your individual case for company expansion and development. There are 2 assessors in the room.
**Activity 3**
Situational judgement interview. The interviewer is really trying to get to know you, so just be yourself and really relax. I had prepared answers that related back to company values, but he didnt want to hear it. Opening question was "tell me about yourself". He was not looking for a walk me through your resume.
**Activity 4**
Business interview. Asked about recent news articles, why HSBC, why IB, how to value a company, what's the definition of free cash flow.
