Declined Offer – Interviewed in Tampa, FL Mar 2012 – Reviewed May 4, 2013
Interview Details – Met with several staff levels individually. It was very informal and had all the "Top 100 Interview Questions". Honestly, I think they only look at your suit, quality of eye contact, ability to hold a conversation, and your GPA. It helps to have an "in".
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining – The office is on the smaller side and there aren't that many public companies in Tampa.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in San Francisco, CA Oct 2012 – Reviewed Jan 10, 2013
Interview Details – There were two part of interviews -- on campus interview and on site interview. and before interview there was a pre-interview dinner to meet the staffs. The recruiters are really nice so you don't need to get too nervous. in the dinner and interviews you would get a lot of chance to ask them anything you want to know about the company. Don't wast your chance, prepare well and ask as many questions as you can and want.
Interview Question – In the interview I mentioned a project I've done and then the interviewer was interested in it and asked the detail. So to impress the interviewer, I suggest to prepare well for all the details of each project you did and don't mention anything you are not well prepared of. Answer Question

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY Nov 2012 – Reviewed Dec 6, 2012
Interview Details – I had my first interview over the phone, which was with someone from campus recruiting. Phone interview was very laid back and just consisted of questions about my resume and one or two behavioral based questions. A few days later I was told I have been invited to attend a super day in NYC. For the super day I flew up a day before, hotel and flights are paid for and you are reimbursed for any other expenses. The super day started with a presentation of background information on the company then a Q&A session with two partners and a senior manager (ask a question!!!). There were then 3 interviews, 30 minutes apiece; I had a partner, manager, and senior associate. Each interview was very relaxed, a few behavioral type questions but mostly just a free flowing conversation. Be relaxed, ask questions, and most importantly be yourself!! We then went out to lunch as a group with our hosts and got to learn more about the company from people that had just recently started, this really helped on giving us the low down on the company and what to expect when you first start. My advice is to really prepare before hand, know a lot about the company, know your resume like the back on your hand, and "script" about what your going to say. I received a call later that night from the partner I interviewed with saying an offer will be extended and to expect a call from campus recruit in the next day or so.
Interview Question – Mostly behavior type questions; tell me about yourself, how you work in a group, talking about prior experience, etc.... Toughest question was about the fiscal cliff and my opinion on our tax system (watch the news and stay current on major events) Answer Question
