Dinged because of brain teasers. Thoughts?
So I went into a call with a VP at this bank thinking it was a casual informational interview but it turned into a first-round and he asked me 7 back to back technicals, all of which I nailed. I then got another first round with an analyst a few days later and I told him about how the call with the VP went and how I did well on the technicals despite not being fully prepared. The 2nd interview was going so well until the cunt asks me 2 brain teasers back to back, one of which I got 80% correct and the second one I had no clue so I told him straight. Didn't make it past him, unfortunately.
The sad part is, the bank has a shit reputation and the management forces it's employees to write positive reviews on glassdoor in an effort to hide all the negativity, yet they have the audacity to use brainteasers, that are all over the internet, as a measure of a candidates caliber?
Pathetic.
You insinuate that you don't want to work there and yet you're butthurt about getting rejected. LOL salty kids be salty kids...
The fact that you said they were all over the internet means you technically should have been prepared to answer them or pretend you don't know the answer and then answer correctly.
Brainteasers are dumb though. If you really were rejected due to getting the brainteaser wrong, then the analyst must have thought that they were easy enough to actually reason through and get the right answer. At the same time, you "told him straight" that you had no clue. You're supposed to be honest about what you don't know but then at least give it a go or explain what you're thinking.
Also, how do you know employees write positive reviews on Glassdoor and that it has a "shit reputation?" Only a couple boutique banks come to mind that actually do this.
AGC for sure. OP is lucky they got dinged..
Didn't know AGC and other banks did this. I only know of one boutique that does this and analysts actually call the firm out for writing fake reviews in their very own reviews.
