Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Group Interview
Skills Test
IQ / Intelligence Test
Personality Test
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
First, you submit CV and answer some written questions (Why Rothschild?, Why IB?, Whats the day to day of an analyst?).
Then you do an online assessment (SJT, and very basic numerical). If successful you will be invited (c. 2 weeks later) to a first round AC.
This is an online group interview (45 minutes) - 4 people being assessed by an analyst who will give you a topic to discuss (this is testing commercial awareness and group communication skills).
If you are successful at this stage, you will be invited (c. 2 weeks later) to a final round interview which is also online, 20 minutes long, with a member of the early careers team (HR), this will be motivation/fit/behavioural based (why Rothschild?, why IB?, Day to day of an analyst?, tell me about a time when you...?, tell me about yourself? etc.). There was 1 question regarding commercial awareness (tell me about something in the news/a recent deal?) There were 0 technical questions whatsoever. Took a while (month or two) to get back with offers due to hiring being extended to after Christmas.
Tips: Be yourself, be likeable, they are so much more about your personality than your technical knowledge. Show a passion for finance but be reasonable. You must be someone they can see themselves working long hours with.
People/Culture: Everyone (actually everyone) is very nice at the firm, they make you feel very welcome and very comfortable. They have an understandable pride but not to be confused at all with arrogance. Very good opportunity if you can get it.
