There hasn't been a thread on this yet for this year. Anyone have any insight or details on the process or the program itself? Just had my phone interview, but not sure when we hear back. My call was also pretty short...

The app for this company is in its review phase. I believe they will come out with results by mid-January. I had an extremely long phone interview though. It seems like PJC recruiters are committed to diversify the firm.
Did you just get asked basic behaviorals too? I might of gotten stumped with 'how do you add diversity' type question, but yeah I got about like 5 questions total. Do you know if there's another interview part or is this just based on one phone interview?
Yea. I got asked the basics, (e,g explain a situation where you have worked in a team to overcome an issue). I'm pretty sure that as long as you didn't completely mess up the phone interview part, you'll be invited to one of the Super Days that occur in February. Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I heard, PJC only actually interviews for actual internship positions and beyond.
I agree. I got the same sense from a call I had with them recently. This person is an MD (and not a recruiter) though.
Just got the invite!
Invite for the in-person interview or phone call? How did it go?
This was for the program. I only had one phone call.

Got the invite as well! Would anyone be interested in creating a groupme?
sure
Let me know I am interested in joining the group me as well.
Also interested; see ya Thursday!
how important are these insight/career exploration days for securing SA positions? Are these a main feeder to SA?
I heard it guarantees a first round for SA 2020 could be wrong tho
That is correct. You get a guaranteed 1st round interview, but it is definitely not the main feeder program.
I had my interview at PJC recently. I thought it went rather well but didn't make it. Surely I must have missed something.
