Super Day 6 Interviews for 3 Hours . Before that online numerical and verbal exam and a phone interview .Questions were both technical and behavioural to know your personality and your competencies
Very straight forward. Phone screen straight to superday. I was contacted by a VP. We spoke on the phone about classic behavioral questions then we jumped into technicals for about 20 minutes. Not too difficult but you have to know your stuff.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Jefferies
Interview
Didn't make it past the technical phone screen. Had 3-4 questions and the interviewer asking the questions seemed to be looking for a particular answer. Overall, the questions came fast and furious and solutions other than what the interviewer had in mind were not good
