The interview process consisted of 2 rounds, the first of which was in an over-the-phone format. It was mostly your typical finance questions—financial statement analysis, company/stock pitch—with a few behavioral questions. The super day was in the SF office and consisted of 5 30-minute back-to-back interviews. The interviewers ranged from analysts to managing directors, with senior bankers focused on behavioral questions and junior bankers focused more on technical questions.
