San Francisco, CAPosted Feb 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a fairly standard two-stage process for the Financial Analyst role, mixing short behavioral check-ins with interviewer-led economic/analytical cases, then finishing with a four-interview in-person superday.

Round 1: online (2x back-to-back, ~30 min each) — I had two interviews with a mix of brief behavioral questions and a longer case segment; the cases were tied to core econ concepts and often included chart/diagram interpretation plus some calculations.
Round 2: superday (4x back-to-back, ~45 min each, plus lunch) — I went through four interviews with more senior staff, each following the same behavioral + case pattern; many cases required economic reasoning and data interpretation (including topics like elasticities in at least one experience). Outcome: I didn’t see an offer
