IQ / Intelligence Test
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I applied online and a few weeks later learned I qualified for an online assessment, which included mostly behavioral video questions requiring me to put myself in the position of an analyst and assess information. After this, I believe separate groups (New York office) passed around my résumé as I interviewed with ECM & M&A over relatively informal Zoom meetings (1-2 members of the group). Questions were on my past internship experiences, extracurriculars on my résumé, etc., as well as some Accounting Technicals & firms/deals I'm interested iin. Never heard back from ECM but learned from HR that I made it to the final online test. This was similar to the first but longer and more in-depth, again placing me in the position of an analyst but requiring any financial/modeling skills, really just seeing my thought process (data analysis, time management & planning, important skills to success, etc.). Received an offer later that day from M&A.
