Applied through graduate school. A few weeks later, had a phone screening then an invite for an in-person.
The in-person interview was a 'superday' format, with about a dozen people from their finance and accounting programs. They interviewees were divided into two groups. One group rotated through 2 on 1 interviews, while the rest had a case study. The case study was filled out individually before each person on the team met to discuss optimal outcomes and draft a powerpoint slide.
The interviewers seemed less qualified than the applicants and had a variety of personalities. Some were great, others seemed like they were born in a log cabin- not impressive.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The case study was the most important part- you are shipping large quantities of grain abroad and are asked to determine whether you should buy the ships or lease. They throw a few smaller facts in for the analysis, but overall you are expected to run the numbers using excel, and present your decision and WHY you decided one way or the other.
