Interview involved a combination on behavioral and technical questions in regard to Equity Research. A discussion of a stock pitch in depth contributed to the majority of the interview time. Interviewers were very conversational and were truly focused on making sure there was a fit between company needs and my skills and interests.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For the telephone interview, questions were quite standard, like why would you want to work in this department, is it better to be correct or have different views from other analysts. Recommend a stock and a brain teaser to find a ball of different weight out of several balls with a balance.
