Curious if anyone has any thoughts / insights on MSREI NYC group? I know they have a smaller office in LA, is staffing similar just separated by geographies? General culture, hours, etc would be much appreciated, as well as any insight into the general interview process or any additional information worth mentioning!

Did you interview with them?
Curious any insight here as well
Great culture. Generally hear that juniors stay for an extended period of their careers given the comradery and environment.
Interviewed with the team and felt pretty good about the basic behavioral and technical questions but ended up botching the model. Build from scratch with 3 tier waterfall and answer Q&A. Felt solid about it but didn't 100% ace it.
Build from scratch as in a development or build from scratch as in starting from a blank excel sheet?
Blank excel
So people with MSRE can’t apply for this role as well I’m assuming? Do they have a post-MBA role?
MSRE is useless lol you're coming in as an entry level analyst 9/10 times.
Bump - any insight on their LA team / interview process?
Any updates on LA process? Heard it got cancelled ...
How do you know it got cancelled?
any update here? Did it actually get cancelled?
