I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Baird (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2013
Interview
I applied for an on-campus interview through the campus career website, endured a 30-minute, double recruiter stress interview, and was invited back for their superday a week later. Fairly boilerplate superday; I guess the only thing that stuck out to me was that we had to draw up pro forma financial statements based on a series of 15 or so hypothetical transactions.
