I applied for the Equity Research Summer Analyst program at the London Office. Received a zoom interview in early 2022. The interview was one-on-one and around 30 minutes. The overall experience is good but the interviewer pushed to details about one of my research program.

Interview
2-round interview process. 1st zoom 30-minute interview and then a 45-minute super day with 3 different calls. Honestly, they had a very pleasant and responsive team and the interview experience was overall quite pleasant and not too tiresome.

Interview
Recruiter reached out to interview. Only had 1 set of interviews and didn't hear back for 2 weeks. Then proceeded to ask for references for an offer. After negotiating verbal offer the recruiter proceeds to ghost me and block me on LinkedIn.
