Intern Reviews
- “It's a very flat hierarchal structure in the sense that I've reached out to senior staff to chat, and they've made time to meet with me and show me their department and projects. Good work-life balance as there were only two days required in-office, and even that was pretty flexible. Had weekly 1:1s with my managers where I received in-depth feedback on my performance.”
- “The culture here is fantastic for an investment bank. There's still the intensity and hours you would expect that come with the territory, but this group of people was awesome to work with.”
- “I felt that the hours were incredibly reasonable for the job and accurately matched what I was expecting.”
- “The culture and environment here are really good; everyone is very supportive of all the interns. I had to work for 40 hours [per week]. The internship provided me with a good work/life balance.”
Getting Hired Here
- “Wasn't too technical, fairly straightforward, heavy on the behavioral questions.”
- “You have to do some general questions about yourself, then there was a coding task (one hour) followed by two one-hour interviews in person. Their interviewers were friendly, and their questions were relevant to the job I was applying for.”
- “Hiring process was smooth and not too difficult. The initial online tests are the hardest bit; interviews were very natural and enjoyable, and technical questions weren't too challenging.”
- “The interviews were great. The interviewers asked clear questions and made you comfortable speaking with them. The turnaround time is very long, however. There is a big gap in time from when you initially interview to hearing any offer updates.”
