      Investment Associate Interview

      Oct 7, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at BAT (London, England) in Aug 2020

      Interview

      2 rounds, first with HR and then with the two heads of the Team - this was for the newly formed BAT Ventures (i.e. a corporate VC fund within BAT) HR was a very nice person but took about 3-4 weeks to get back to me after 1st interview. The 2nd round was with two people who would be my bosses. Both nice, although playing a bit a of bad cop/good cop act in terms of questions. They really wanted someone who was passionate about Venture Capital, which I was not. So they were right to dismiss me. The next round I'm told would be a case study.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      HR interview - Why BAT? - Most complex project you've ever handled? - Why did you leave your previous job? - What's your view on the tobacco industry? Given there's lots of stigma 2nd interview - Standard fit and experience questions - Tell me about a time you innovated or improved a process at your previous role - What's a current innovation in the consumer space you are interested in? - If you could invest in a start-up right now, what would it be, and why?
