I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ziegler (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2019
Interview
Two over the phone interviews. These were more behavioral in nature. Superday in the Chicago HQ office. Met with an associate, VP, and MD. Short case study written test. There were 2 other students there interviewing. Heard back about a week later.
Very friendly and personable interviewers from analyst to director to hiring lead. Felt genuinely respected and appreciated of my recruiting efforts and interest in the firm's unique play in the industry.

Question 1
Resume grill, interest in their industry focuses, debt related technicals
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Ziegler in Apr 2024
Interview
Pretty straightforward - behavioral, technical, and then superday with the team. Behavioral interview really grills into the "why banking" so make sure you have a convincing answer to that. Technical interview was pretty standard (asked about 3 statement financials, cost of equity, basic valuation questions).

Question 1
What is an area of healthcare that you find interesting or would invest in?
Ghosted after second round, zero response back from them. Second round purely technical. Very basic IB questions - DCF, accounting questions, valuation questions. First round was fully behavioral. Overall very straightforward unsure why I never received a follow up.
