Analyst

I was asked to prepare a stock pitch to send to the interviewer and discuss during my interview. I worked diligently on this but it was clearly not read -- I was then told by the interviewer that those are merely asked for in order to "weed out" candidates who aren't serious about the process. I thought that was exceptionally rude and unfair, as I had a great idea and had prepared to talk about it. Instead, the interview focused on accounting and finance questions.
