Berenson interview questions

Applied through my college; the first round was a group interview conducted by a first year Analyst who had been on the job for less than 3 months, and a 2nd year Analyst, so I would imagine its a very subjective screening process. The second round interviews were mostly a rehash of same old IB questions, asked by senior professionals over and over again: Why IB (despite the low quality of life), why this company + what a banker does on a daily basis. One of the interviews was a fairly technical one but I suspect that was only because of my prior finance experience. The premium put on technicals was quite low actually. The place had a visible gender imbalance in the employee workforce and the culture felt a little snobbish. There was only one female finance professional as far as I could tell. Despite repeatedly following up, they never gave a final decision, which is excessively rude and unprofessional on their part. Fortunately I landed better offers so I did not bother with them again.

I applied online and the 1st round is on campus. I met with one VP (staffer) and one new analyst. All fit questions. Since I had last internship at a big bank, the VP asked me if get the return offer and I said no. I guess this is the turning point for me. The new analyst just get into the bank for less than 3 months, does not seem know much about the business and the questions from her are not interesting neither. After like 15 mins, the VP said he has no question want to ask me and I knew I was not good fit at that time. So the rest of the interview is just me asking them questions.
