Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Latham, NY Nov 2010 – Reviewed Dec 7, 2010
Interview Details – First I attended an information session at my university to learn about Ayco. I submitted my resume and introduced myself through email. One day later I received a phone call discussing the internship and why I want to work at Ayco. After the phone call, I was invited to a one day interview with two separate people; one from HR, the other from the division I was applying to. The interview was very relaxed and no technical finance questions were asked, only fit type questions. The only advice I can give is to know the position you are applying for. Lastly, the people, office, and work culture are all great. Very nice people, beautiful office, and relaxed work atmosphere.

Interview Details – Applied online and received phone call about four weeks later. The phone interview was different from any experience I have ever had or heard of. I suppose the questions were framed to determine one's character but seemed fairly irrelevant. No questions about experiences, education, or resume were asked. Also, the call only lasted a few minutes and the interviewer was not very polite.
