I applied online. I interviewed at Jefferies in Dec 2023
Interview
I applied online through their career section and heard back about 5-6 weeks later with them wanting to set up a 30-minute Zoom interview. The interviewer was very friendly and laid back. They were currently working as a business analyst themselves.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Jefferies (New York, NY)
Interview
Ghosted after 4 rounds, 2 phone calls and 2 zooms later, not even a thanks for applying. Bank Culture i guess. I have a 30 word minimum so I am gonna add some filler words here for Glassdoor, stupid.
The interview process was very smooth and easy. OA then first round then superday. Most behavioral with some technical questions. More chill than most swe roles that I had previously applied for
