Jefferies interview questions

The interview process consisted of 2 rounds, the first of which was in an over-the-phone format. It was mostly your typical finance questions—financial statement analysis, company/stock pitch—with a few behavioral questions. The super day was in the SF office and consisted of 5 30-minute back-to-back interviews. The interviewers ranged from analysts to managing directors, with senior bankers focused on behavioral questions and junior bankers focused more on technical questions.

I was told to meet the hiring manager at the first round on-site interview. However, the hiring manager disappeared and the front desk knew nothing about the interview. The recruiter reconnected me with one of the team members, so that I was able to get in. The interview lasted from 9am to maybe 2pm, with only water for refreshment. I was later asked to do a second round of on-site interview, which was the same as the first one, except that the hiring manager appeared at last. Later, I received a rejection from the hiring manager citing a reason that was simply the opposite of what I had said during the interview and written on my resume.
