The fact that you are asking this question and lack any competence in Google/WSO searching leads me to believe that an interview is all you're going to have. I mean seriously, did you try "Baupost Group" in Google or WSO yet?
their strategy is well documented as ALGO CHEETAH, MARKET MAKING and NOT VALUE INVESTING. in all seriousness, seth klarman is a god in value investing and if you land an investing job there, that is great for you. a ton of people would kill to even have an investing interview there. best of luck!
How can this possibly be a question? Theyre one of the most well known value funds out there. Like, the top.

I'm probably in the minority when I say this, but Margin of Safety is pretty shallow reading (and gets very redundant quickly). The Intelligent Investor, from which it clearly draws, is much better and more insightful.

Always thought Margin of Safety was a summary of Intelligent Investor but with different examples, is that right?
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Berkshire Hathaway. They seem to keep a pretty low profile, and I cant find information on their actual investment criteria. They also seem to have a pretty miniscule headcount, bur they have ~300b aum and seem to have done well for themselves. Does anyone have any tips on their culture, comp etc?
(And yes I have an interview with them)
kthxbye

By your question I'm assuming this is for an admin assistant position. Culture, very laid back. They bring you cake on your birthday and you get to bake cakes whenever it's your boss' birthday. You get balloons on Secretary's day. You must be able to type 60 WPM and answer phones. You also get to answer phone calls from annoying kids who in undergrad who want to network with your boss. It pays well. Good luck!
Hai guis I have an interview with this small bank Ive never heard of, I think its called Goldman Sachs or something like that (I mean what kind of name is that, right?). I think its as a bank teller or something, does anyone know if they better or worse than chase???
