Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Various behavioral and technical questions; some focus on tech space
I applied online. I interviewed at AGC Partners (London, England) in May 2023
Interview
Initial Online Assessments and then a screening call with HR. Then had a further call with senior members of the team before an assessment center / Superday
The assessment center was demanding but fair and needed to prepare technical as well as personality questions
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AGC Partners (Boston, MA) in Oct 2016
Interview
The process began with a Skype interview followed by a phone interview. A few weeks later Superday was held in Boston on a Saturday. The Superday consisted of about 15 interviews, each running 15 minutes long. After the interviews, there was a happy hour at a local restaurant.
The format of the Superday enables you to meet a majority of the partners and analysts, which gives you a sense of the people you would be working with as well as the company culture. I found this helpful, especially since AGC is a small firm. The happy hour then allows you to talk with everyone in a more personal setting and gain a better sense of personality and fit. Overall the day was tiring, but well-run and very informative.
As for interview questions, the Skype interview focused on a mix of technical and fit questions. The phone interview only asked fit questions. The Superday had all types of questions. As long as you prepare, the questions are fair. Also, if you want to ask analyst questions, it is easier to ask during the Skype or phone interviews because there is more time.
