Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I was connected with the firm through my father, who is a real estate lawyer and has done work with the company before. They usually only hire summer interns who have connections with higher-ranking employees. The interview consisted of in-person conversations in the New York City office (which is downtown near SoHo) with the head of human resources and two associates. I was interviewing for a position on the Loan Sales advisory desk, so the technical questions were entirely focused on mortgages. They were not too detailed, but mostly were about the recession and mortgages' role in causing the financial crisis. The human resource interview was entirely behavioral. Questions were pretty generic. I was asked to talk about a time I faced a challenge, and how I overcame it, and I was asked to explain why I went to the college that I attended and why I was majoring in the major I was in.
