I interviewed there a couple years ago. There were some basic technical questions (walk me through financial statements, different valuations methods) and walk me through your resume. It was overly difficult from a technical standpoint, I just got the feeling that they really wanted to make sure you understood financial statement accounting/analysis. They hired all their interns plus 1 outside the group. They also had a huge initiative on women as well for some reason. I know a couple girls from my school that didn't even have the required minimum GPA that made it to the superday.

 

Also on hiring rate - had 8 people in my afternoon group (8 in morning group). Took 1-2 in each group, which translated into about 3 total offers out of 16 that interviewed. So basically they took 2 of 16 or 3 of 16, not sure which

 

Had a superday in their NYC offices for 4 hours where I met people from every level (Analyst -> MD) in various groups including HR. Very standard banking interview - fit, behavioral, technicals (some, not many and were not difficult), a brainteaser. Saw that the interviewers ranked us on various factors

I felt like they tried to give an impression that they're very friendly but some of the interviewers were actually pretty douchy and had big egos. I guess it depends on who you end up meeting

 
peinvestor2012 NuclearPenguins:

In Minneapolis for SA, 4 rounds of 2 on 1 interviews. Very standard banking interview with some fit, some technicals. Everyone I met seemed really nice though. Nobody douchey but maybe that's just the midwest vibe coming out.

PJC guys have no reason to be douchey or arrogant.

more like inb4 peinvestor2012's unnatural hate for Piper Jaffray :p
Calm down.
