Very technical, under the impression it would be behavioral but much more technical than anticipated. Did not prepare more for the technical part so would recommend that. It was a lot of java related questions, applied for the software engineer role

Question 1
Java related questions for the software engineer role
3 rounds mostly behavioral, they asked my previous experience in SQL, Qlikview and databases, last round I met the head of the team and mostly interaction around past experiences. Overall it’s a very positive interview and I highly recommend Jefferies
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Jefferies (New Orleans, LA) in Apr 2022

It was a very stressful but at the end a really rewarding journey. I applied to many companies but am happy where I ended up. Keep up the hard work and you will do great things.
