Senior Business Systems Analyst at MFS
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Boston, MA Mar 2008 – Reviewed Jul 25, 2012
Interview Details – I interviewed for a hot job, so they moved pretty quick. But I had to go through a total of 9 interviews, including one phone screen and a feedback session. I met a total of 8 people-- 1 HR rep, Hiring Manager, Sr.Manager - Vice President, CIO - Senior Vice President,two other Business Systems Analyst Managers, One Vice President from Investment Operations and One team member/Senior Business Systems Analyst. Interview process was very well planned and thorough, everybody read my resume and was well prepared with questions.
Interview Questions
- I would say, I was asked three very unexpected questions : A Business Systems Analyst Manager asked me 1) to calculate variation margin on a futures position View Answer
- 2) Difference between Floating rate and a Variable rate ( This question and the answer from him did not make sense to me) View Answer
- Another surprise was from CIO - The very first question from him was "what is so tough about fixed income?". I was not expecting such a question from a Senior Vice President. View Answer
Negotiation Details – I did not negotiate much

Client Service Manager at MFS
No Offer – Interviewed in Boston, MA May 2010 – Reviewed Jun 15, 2010
Interview Details – In my research of the company I read that they have an open door policy, and from my experience this rings true. This is also one of their core values. I contacted a Linked in connection who is Sr. Managing Director to see if he could get my information in front of the hiring manager. The hiring manager was also a Director of the company. Both Managers had long careers at MFS. They were very respectful and helpful and nice. The recruiter seemed disinterested however the administrative person who helped schedule everything was very efficient. The office space is in Back Bay and a beautiful building with incredible views. It is my opinion that this would be a great place to work.
Interview Question – The interview was cordial and was conversational in tone it was very informative. There were no difficult questions the difficulty is in getting an interview. Answer Question
