Interview Details – Applied with resume and cover letter. Had a basic phone interview with behavioral questions -- not much about the business or technicals. Called in for an in-person interview and got more into business/tech questions and received an offer after that.

Interview Details – Full-day interview with MDs, executive directors and HR. In addition to "fit" and "industry" questions, they provided a lot of time for me to ask questions. It seems like I was also being judged by what questions I asked and how I asked them.

Interview Details – numerical, verbal and checking paper test at their office

AC: interview, group discussion and presentation.

Interview Details – The first round was on campus interview and was fairly simple. A couple of questions about Java memory management, OOP principles and finally an implementation for fibonacci numbers. Second round was on site in New York, about seven hours in length. It started with an informational panel then two group activity where interviewers are divided into groups to build some small projects. Then there was four rounds of 1:1 interview.

Interview Details – The process was quite comfortable - no hard questions, all personality tests. I'd say the people there were very nice, and considerate. The first round was a on-site aptitude test, and around 1-2 weeks later there was a telephone interview, and finally an assessment center interview. The AC had 2 1:1 interviews and 1 group interview.

Interview Details – I passed the first phone interview and had 3 1-on-1 face to face interview. Each interview last about 30 minutes long. Overall, it's almost all behavioral question. No technical question at all. I was asked what is your view to the market and to pick one stock in Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Interview Details – They called me on Friday at 8 p.m. and just said that i was invited to an interview that will take place <date and time> The person on the phone sounded neither friendly nor helpful, and was not expecting questions. I asked a couple of questions, one about which department I will be interviewed for - she answered IBD and that I was a lucky one. The office was quite good, but rather deserted and somewhat grave. I had two interviews, basically cv-based, with a little incline into professional skills and some questions on valuation (which I did not answer very well). The first interviewer was a vp, he asked me to tell him about myself and started crossing out items on my resume that I covered. Overall, his attitude was not overly serious, more of condescending. The second one was an analyst, he asked basically similar questions, with more emphasis on my research work. Overall, as it was my first IB interview ever, I felt that I kinda did not do well. That proved right, I was not called back.
