Phone Interview
1 on 1 Interview
Group Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
First round was a phone interview with HR and a VP. Basic questions about your background, why you want to do IB etc.

Most of it was behavioral. Talked about interests and really tried to get a sense about who you were and what motivated you.

They then had a group dinner with all the interviewees dinner where you interacted with 3 to 4 VPs.

The next day was one-on-one interviews with mainly the MDs in the group. I met with 4 MDs and 1 VP and questions were for the most part behavioral.

Overall, the group is pretty laid back. You can tell since most of the interview was behavioral that it's really about how well you fit into the group. Each MD has been there for a long time and the continuity of their experience is what appealed to me about the company.
