Not great, first interview neither associates had camera on and asked borderline questions. Was strung along for 4 interviews then rejected. Recruiter was friendly but wasn’t able to provide feedback
Was only 1 day with 2 people and they each lasted about 15 minutes. They were over zoom and with people from my department. One was my direct supervisor and the other was not.
In-person Super Day at my school containing a 30 minute interview with 3 analysts and an MD. It was very low pressure and wasn't very technical, with them focusing more on behavioral answers.
