Please describe the interview / hiring process.
At first I had a phone interview then in a week I met with the HR person, the same day I had an interview with two analysts one of whom was leaving the job. Extremely generic question. About 20 personality/situation questions (yes, about 20). The interview with two analysts lasted for about an hour. After that I spoke to the main person in the M&A group, spend less than 5 min with her, she seemed very uninterested, asked 1-2 questions (my weaknesses and strengths) and that was it. Heard back in about a month. Didn't get the position (it was clear after the last interview).
