Stephens Inc. Interview

16 analysts. All in LR. Phone interview then a superday. Applying as well

Thanks, do you know how technical the interview is? And when is the superday?

Honestly I would like to know as well.

Info session said be expected to explain what you do on a Saturday night and also financial statements. They didn't specify exactly what is in interview. One alumni analyst said he wished he majored in accounting based on what he does on a day to day basis.

I'm guessing standard fit for phone, split for superday. Remember it is a generalist program. Dont mention a product group or even a industry group because they dont exist for analysts.

Would love to hear from someone who went through it...

Which schools does Stephens actively recruit from?

I've got an upcoming phone interview. What should I expect... mostly fit?

Thanks

mostly fit. they just want to see how you interact over the phone. there are some people who have no idea how to have a conversation over the phone. i also suggest picking up some WSJ's and reading about deals just in case they ask if you know what's going on. good luck. if you want any detailed answers. pm me.

When I interviewed they had most people end up in LR, one or two in NY, and one or two in ATL. It is mostly a fit interview and the offices are really nice. They have cocktail hours and dinners which are essentially informal interviews during the superday weekend. If you're from the North you better be convincing when you say you're excited about working in the South and have a good story. Know your SEC football. One guy asked some typical technical questions such as how a writeoff or purchase of a depreciable asset would flow through the balance sheet. It was the most fun I had out of all my interviews and they fly some candidates in on a company plane.

Had my phone interview today and it was definitely strictly a behavioral interview. It was pretty much tell me about yourself and there were some questions about location preferences and how many hours you expect to work -- a real relaxed conversation.

They said there are trying to do phone or on-campus interviews with about 250 applicants and they will narrow that down and invite 35 to a superday.

Personally, the interview went real well, but I'm not sure I'm the ideal applicant. I graduated school in May from a top 10 public school with a 3.3 gpa with the best work experience being interning at a law firm for two semesters in the mergers and acquisitions practice group.

Best of luck everyone applying.

I've got a phone interview coming up. The HR lady said they are recruiting for analysts in most of their offices, the process just goes through Little Rock. They are also looking for Atlanta, Dallas, etc.

Good luck Shaniqua, They also said they will notify everyone if they made the superday before October 18th.

First round phone interview Thursday... any additional information which is not listed above is greatly appreciated.

why IB tell me about your background do you know the hours of IB/are you willing what other IBs are you looking at do you have questions for me

my phone interview sucked

got the bb offer anyway, so there!

Did you ever hear back?

Said they will let candidates know the week of the 18th regarding second round... interview went great.

I heard the same thing. I hope they let us know sooner.

Any updates?
