Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 days)

The interview was with two invesment bankers - one from New York and one from Charlotte. One interviewer was younger and asked all of the technical questions. The second question of the interview was to walk them through a DCF which then led to questions about WACC, P/E, various methods of valuation, etc. The other interviewer was mostly quiet with a stern look on his face but he would occasionally interject with a behavioral question. Overall the interview wasn't that bad, but I had not adequately prepared for the technical questions. They also asked me which bank has the largest market capitalization in the US - i said B of A, turns out it is Wells Fargo. I don't imagine that helped.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)

Wells Fargo was great, the interviewers were one MD in S&T and one associate in IB. Asked me questions from both sides of the business. basically 50/50 behavioral/technical. I should have been more prepared for technical b/c he asked me more about the different valuations than I thought they would for a summer analyst position on a 1st round phone interview. I prepared more for DCFs but they asked about the other 2 methods that I wasnt very familiar with. They enjoyed the interview and I found out after that they liked me a lot but apparently some other guys knew more technical knowledge than I did and they only had 2 spots to give out and I didn't make it in.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)

I am a finance major and they called me to set up an interview. It was pretty informal and was a 2:1 interview. It was mainly behavioral and they asked me a few simple questions like how would I value a firm and what kind of models I had had exposure to. Pretty straightforward.
