      YP Program Interview

      Jan 20, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Washington, DC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      Structured process. Took 3 months between the moment I was contacted for the first interview and the offer (6 months since I submitted my resume online). I was contacted in November for a skype interview. A few days later I was informed that I was invited to interview in Washington for a full day second round of interviews. The second round comprised a panel interview, a written test and 2 individual interviews. Each interview is a mix of behavioral, fit and technical questions (basic accounting, nothing tricky). The written test (3h) wasn't hard in my opinion. There are 2 parts, a written essay based on an article asking to perform a quick investment analysis, and a series of multiple choice questions (basic accounting).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell us about that transaction you mentioned in your resume. Tell us about some of the activities you were doing when sourcing new deals. Why the IFC? Why this program?
