I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Guggenheim Partners (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2013
Interview
On campus interview during senior year of college, invited to super day in office. Flew to LA and stayed in a hotel with other applicants Friday evening, grouped us into teams of three and gave us a vague question which we had to answer and present in a boardroom in front of several members of the company. Following the presentation, we each had 3 rounds of interviews either 1:1 or 2:1
I applied online. I interviewed at Guggenheim Partners
Interview
Would avoid - had an interviewer with a senior person and he was the rudest interviewer I've encountered (blatantly would raise his voice and would say I was stupid, etc.). Questions were overall easy but he was a very difficult person to deal with
I interviewed at Guggenheim Partners (New York, NY)
Interview
First round screener, excel test, and after they gave a superday. Superday was all behavior with some senior bankers. Overall process took a bit over a month. Does in person interviews.
The interview consisted of technicals with junior bankers, then behaviorals with senior bankers. It was pretty standard for an investment banking interview. It was 1 round of technicals and 2 behavioral interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical basic / intermediate technicals and behaviorals were oriented towards stories in previous employment
