i spoke with some people in the M&A group over there. It seems to be a rather boring and strict group.

However. I see that you have been interviewing around a lot and maybe you might want to think about your interview approach instead?

 

Not really sure how specific groups interview, but a friend of mine interviewed and ended up interning at Oppenheimer last summer. according to him, interviews were pretty standard. any interviews w analysts will be very casual whereas associates and especially the directors will ask quite technical questions. MD interviews are kind of a toss up. are you interviewing for SA or FT?

in terms of culture, i know industrials used to be known for working their analysts the hardest, but according to the friend that has changed. he says health care works the hardest now, with m&a close behind.

good luck

 

I had an interview with the M&A dept - My interviewers seemed to constantly mention who their previous employers were. And then continued to mention it. It seemed like every interviewer started every sentence with "when i was a bear, or when i was at JP Morgan..." I cant say I enjoyed meeting those guys - in my limited interaction.

In terms of the interview, it was entirely technical. Not too hard, but they did their best to apply pressure. The questions were relatively simple and fundamental, but were phrased in complicated situations.

 

wow, seems like everyone is not so fond of the MA group...I am really curious to meet them but this is just a phone interview so i dont know how it will be played out
