Interview Questions
I had several interviews within 2 departments, but this one is more applicable.
First one - Merchant banking is an analogue to Investment banking division plus a bit of mezzanine loans origination.
So there they were asking primarily everything about Valuation and the most unexpected part was about credit analysis itself.
1) How do you do credit analysis for a company? What would you look for if you were told to analyze it?

2) Also, I have never expected so many indepth questions about Enterprise value formula, they took every possible variable from formula and asked in very specific details.

Interview
First, I had an interview with staffing agency that found my CV on a web-site. It was extremely simple, she asked some dummy questions, like "what is the difference between stock and bond". Thus, she just checked whether i'm adequate or not.
Then i had an HR-interview, where i had to make a SWOT analysis of myself. It made me to think for a while, but i coped with that.
Then, finally, i had three group interview with different managers and employees from my department. They gave me some cases to solve, with some i coped, with others not.
Interview Questions
- Do you know what SWOT analysis is?
- Yes, of course
- Could you please make a SWOT analysis for you own personality?
