The initial interview was more of a social skills assessment - no finance background necessary. Once you pass the recruiter's standards, you go on to take multiple personality profiles. These are essentially psych analyses. The second interview was also informal, though you are given the opportunity to meet some of the city's top employees, i.e. the managing partner for the Chicago branch. Again, most of the questions were informal - the role requires you to be socially capable, they really check for that. It seems that the general atmosphere is fairly laid back, but you have to be ready to commit to a sales position such as this one.
