United StatesPosted Oct 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for the Business Analyst role in an easier-feeling track focused on accessibility in the first cases and strong finance intuition in later case prompts, with a quick progression.

Round 1 (two back-to-back interviews) — Each started with several behavioral questions, followed by a shorter case working session with an interviewer.
Final round (more cases, broader finance topics) — I encountered a higher volume of cases (including one especially hard finance topic like LIBOR) alongside others like hedge funds and mutual funds. Outcome: I didn’t receive an offer in this group, and the takeaway was that staying current on finance news and being ready for regression-related thinking helped, even when some cases were straightforward.
