Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I met the recruiter of Lazard during an on-campus session at Bocconi University. After a while I applied to the summer internship program in Milan. After two weeks they scheduled an interview at their office in Milan. The interview started with a HR manager, talking about my past, my interests and why I was interested in this position. After 20 minutes the rectruiter started to put pressure on me asking more and more detailed questions about Lazard history and at least 10 past M&A operations completed by Lazard, how I would change them and what I think about these operations and the outcome. After 1 hour arrived an associate and we started the technical questions. At the beginning they were really esay. Then they get more and more complicated, too much for a student at the beginning of the third year. I had some difficulties with questions about the balance sheets, especially those questions related with a situation of a negative capital. I haven't received any offer.
