My friend just had one (nontarget) and sait it was relatively straightforward. No brainteasers or anything like that, medium technicals, and mainly focused on past accomplishments/leadership experiences.

thanks for the info !

 
dram183When you say medium technicals, what kind of questions do you mean?

In other words, I would consider an easy question something easy to prepare like "walk me through a DCF," but a medium question more situational where you have to think on your feet. So something like "company A is trading at these two multiples, and company B is trading at these two multiples, so what could be driving this difference?" Or something like interpreting a stock price movement after a corporate event that may not be what you expect. Nothing hard, but not a simple definition.

Thank you very much for the information. I am having superday interviews with cs too next week. I was wondering if you also know what the interviewers' level are in your friend's case, MD or Associate or Analyst?

Appreciate it!

You will meet with people at all levels from Analyst to MD

 

So...I'm a non-target (I go to an Ivy, but CS doesn't recruit here). I have a ton of "ins" at the firm through high-up MD's. Submitted my application a couple of weeks ago, haven't heard anything. Status is "application received." Have I been dinged? It seems a little early in the process for superdays...?

I suggest you email your contacts and let them know that you've submitted your application. OCR & Superdays for my school will take place in late January / early February.

 
jlee90regarding some of the earlier comments, I've also heard CS does a lot of situational cases during interviews

You are getting me nervous now lol. I hope they don't get too tough. Good luck to you.

 

My experience is that it's hard to generalize about interviews (some firms you can), but if I remember correctly when I interviewed with CS for SA last year, it was almost 100% fit...

 

You'll probably get a mix of technical / fit... my experience with interviews are that the analysts/associates tend to be more technical oriented and the VPs/MDs tend to be more fit oriented, but it totally depends on the person...

 

Like the people above said you can expect a mix of technical, background and fit.

As a tip for summer analyst interviewing: the best selling points you can make are that (1) you're willing to do whatever it takes during your internship to support the full-time analysts & associates (the ANL and ASC interviewers will particularly like you for this) and (2) you're pursuing this internship for a full-time opportunity next year (full-time recruiting is much harder on the banks b/c they have to make a 2+ year commitment but can't be sure what they're getting in return -- it's much more appealing to sign up their intern classes for the full-time jobs).

 
NXKS312Sounds similar to the structure for my super day at CS IBD next week...so I'm guessing you must be going too?

is there for HK or NY?

 

Expect to be tested technically, even for SA, I was shocked when I interviewed with them last year. Advice: don't pretend to know more than you do, anwer what you can, and answer it well. They're looking for bright people that are good fit for the firm, so second above on being adamant about parlaying SA into FT. Show you're looking to learn, and be able to explain really well why CS vs. other places, and most importantly why IBD.

 
dram183Hey xyz12345 and NXKS312, I have a first round interview with CS next week in NY. What questions did you guys end up getting first round? Thanks!

Same here. CS IBD SA NY. Would love to know how everything goes with you guys. And good luck!

 
Banker's ParadiseIs it fair to say if I haven't heard back yet, I didn't get it? Has everyone else heard already from last Friday?

I was told that I would hear back this Friday...so perhaps another super day this week?
