RBC Intern interview questions

Since the Frankfurt office is small, I got to interview with almost everybody on the team. After an informal 1st round interview (in-person), I was invited for a day to the FFM office. The day consisted of 5 interviews and 3 tests. Interviews focused on my motivation and general knowledge about the IB industry. There were no competency based questions. As the FFM team is small, the key to succeed there is to have very strong technical skills since there is little time for basic training once you join the team. Hence a lot of emphasis was put on Excel modelling (test 1), knowledge of financial statements and basic accounting (test 2) as well as PowerPoint skills (test 3). Interviews were conducted in German for the most part but excellent command of English is expected as well.
