On zoom and Has prepped before hand so not too bad, a few rounds with fair questions on both behavioral and technicals. Went smooth and enjoyed talking to the interviewers.
first round interview was a phone call with analyst. I was on zoom but the analyst didnt turn his camera on. He barely spoke English. Overall bad experience. Would not want to work there after initial first round interview.
Multiple calls with HR, DOR and the direct team, I was asked on why I am interested in research and some technicals on financial statements impact, stock pitch as well as resume walk-through.
