1 on 1 Interview
Personality Test
Interview
I got a call from the recruiter after I reached out to an analyst working at the private bank. (She messaged the recruiter for me). The recruiter set up a call with me and then she told me I was put on the early Super Day list. She then told me my super day was going to be around a month from when she called me. After that I was scheduled in for a virtual Superday. It was 2 back to back video calls that each lasted 20 minutes. The first one was behavioral and the MD asked questions about who I was and what I did. The second interviewer was a little more technical and asked some behavioral and technical questions. The work culture seems amazing and is different from what I have heard from other banks. I spoke to analysts and they say 40 hour work weeks are pretty normal. Also, everyone seems to want to help out and the culture is very supportive.
Interview Questions
They asked me if I understood what fiduciary meant and how that related to PNC. I had no clue.
