Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso ION Group (New York, NY) nel mese di mar 2020
Colloquio
I submitted my resume through my school's employment portal. About a few weeks later you were invited to take a test, which is sort of akin to SAT reading and math.
I received an invite for an interview with people from ION via my school's campus recruiting office. There were two interviews with two different managers. Then they told me they would get back to me for the final round.
Then COVID-19 hit and ION suspended recruiting.

Questions focused mainly on behavior and details about your background and experience.

The process started with a skills assessment, then a first-round behavioral with two interviewers, and finally an in-person superday that lasted almost six hours. The superday included three behavioral interviews, a group case, and an individual case study, and honestly it didn’t even feel like there was enough time to properly finish the case.
Overall, I was pretty disappointed with the process. They really dragged it out, from the start of interviewing to potentially getting an offer, it’s close to four months. The vibe of the company also felt kind of depressing, and some of the first year analysts running the superday came across as a bit unprofessional and occasionally condescending.
Also, for a role paying around $80K in a very high cost-of-living city, a 5–6 hour superday with case studies feels a little excessive. On top of that, there’s no real clarity on which rotations you end up in or how much training you actually receive, so the program just felt pretty unstructured overall.

Teams interview, basic interview questions. Two interviewers who rotated asking questions. No technical stuff, having no tech experience will not hinder you. Go in knowing a bit about the financial market.

Superday which consisted of a presentation to two people that was prepared on the spot, pitching one of their products to a simulated business situation. Virtual interview in an office - this one felt impersonal and like the decision was made already.
