Pre covid. HR doesnt tell me it's a virtual zoom interview. I travel from my campus and miss classes to attend the super day I think is in NYC, because she gave me the physical address and bulding details in the initial email. The night before she sends me an email with a zoom link, by then I was already in NYC. lovely. Same woman failed to respond to my emails while I interned there. The end

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jefferies

Very positive experience! I had a first round interview over the phone which lasted a little over 30 minutes. The interviewer genuinely wanted to get to know me and was willing to explain any technicals I didn't totally get.
