I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Jefferies (Houston, TX) in Mar 2014
Interview
The guy who interviewed me forgot about the schedule and left me waiting for an hour... And then we finished the interview in a rush... Never got any update since then
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Jefferies
Interview
Absolutely disengaged interviewer! more interested in his/her phone than me - utterly unprofessional. Him/her was huffing and puffing during the interview, it was like he was was dragged out of bed against his own will!
I did the first 2 rounds through phone call with the VP and associate. Then got invited to an in person interview with 3 team members (Analyst, VP, Associate). Nearly all were behavioral questions.
The interview for equity research consists of a behavioral and technical portion. Expect a "Why Jefferies" question along with basic technicals. They want to see your passion and why you are interested in working at the firm.
