It started with a quick phone screen where I was asked some basic questions about my resume. I was then asked to come in to the office for an interview with the directors of the department for which the position is located. They asked me some technical questions related to fixed income investments and accounting. It wasn't too bad, however I would have had an easier time if I would have reviewed the subjects they were going to ask. At the same time, it's difficult to know what they would be. To be safe, just be sure to review the basics from your undergrad curriculum.
After the interview, they asked me if I had any questions and gave me a timeline on the response from the company regarding the next step. They followed the timeline and I was asked to come in for a second interview the next week with the director, CFO, CEO, and COO. This time I was asked some more rigorous questions on the topics of fixed income and derivative securities. Again, it's tough to prepare when you don't know exactly what would be asked. I did my best and communicated when I was stumped and they helped me through. Additionally I was asked some math questions.
Overall, I was nervous and anxious the whole time and my brain didn't work very well during the interview. I felt that I knew much more than I signaled during the interview, which could be a negative thing. I would say that the interviewers were friendly overall, although there were sometimes that they looked impatient or disappointed by my failure to arrive at the correct answers. However, I will say that I have heard that a lot of times that behavior is intentional because they want to see how you do when you're nervous. I'll say that I feel neutral about the whole process not necessarily because of the people or the company, but because of the anxiety and nervousness I felt the whole time. Maybe that's my problem...
