Entrevista
phone interview, hr interview, then interview with supervisor. very laid back and smooth. depends on who is interviewing you, but seems like they are more interested in personable hard workers.
HR interview - basic interview, what are your strength/weakness, situational questions. where do you see yourself in 5 years.
supervisor interview - same as hr interview, but also financial knowledge questions. what is a mutual fund, how do you value it. etc
I applied online and was invited to a virtual interview with two interviewers. The interview lasted about 30 minutes. They asked a mix of behavioral and technical questions related to fund accounting, reconciliation, NAV, and teamwork. Overall, the interview process was well organized and the interviewers were professional and friendly.

The interview process consisted of an initial HR phone screening and a 2-on-1 video interview. In the video interview, I was asked questions about my personal experience, accounting, finance concepts, and behavioral scenarios. The entire process was very smooth and pleasant – the hiring manager gave a thorough introduction to the job workflow and daily schedule, which I really appreciated. HR also followed up quickly with the interview results. Overall, it was a highly professional and well-organized experience.

What is option and stock split? Why do you leave your last job?
The HR team was very nice and supportive throughout the process. I first had a friendly HR screening, which was a positive experience.
However, the next stage — the online interview with the hiring manager and a team member — felt unusual. Neither of them turned on their camera, which made the conversation feel less engaging. The hiring manager spent about 20 minutes asking financial terminology questions that I wasn’t familiar with, and in some cases, it seemed like he was just reading definitions back to me. I was not given a chance to introduce myself properly, and apart from two behavioral questions, I barely spoke during the entire interview.
Overall, the process felt quite awkward and one-sided. While I appreciated HR’s professionalism, the interview itself did not provide a fair opportunity to showcase my skills or experience.
