I have a first round interview coming up early next week, for a financial leadership development program position at a Fortune top-50 company.
I am scheduled for 2 interviews, 30 minutes each back to back with one manager/VP in each. Should I expect mainly behavioral questions for the first round, or should I concentrate on other areas more?
Any advice would be appreciated.
depends.
i interviewed with a few top companies for these roles back in the day.
Companies like JNJ get technical. They don't ask u what a leveraged buyout is or how to put together an accretion/dilution analysis.
They ask u a lot more accounting related work - what are the three statements? if u could only pick one, which would u pick and why? how are they interrelated?
They also ask case study type questions.
But thats as technical as its ever gotten for me. Other FLDP programs asked about experience in excel (pivot tables, macros) and everything else was behavioral (teamwork, strengths, weaknesses).
That was my experience anyway.
I noticed a lot of them just bring some type of template (for lack of a better word) of behavioral questions. Some of them are the basic ones (strengths/weaknesses, why us, etc.), while others are the pointless ones that are just there so they can "get" you.
