Easy questions, kind interviewers. Went through 3 rounds, each with only one interviewer. Received the offer call one day after the last interview. The whole process was quick and pleasant, and the interviewers did not try to grill me at all.
Had an interview with an analyst, basic interview questions, interviewer was going by the script. Was randomly asked who the current CEO is. Didn't get any answer after the first round, which was weird.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jefferies (New York, NY) in Oct 2022
