Interview
I met with them a college career fair and at first was excited. After a long online application, I found out I qualified for an interview. I went for the interview and was suprised. Never was I told that it was going to be at all technical. The first question was, are you willing to write some code. I said sure, as I started writing, before I was done they were questioning my methods. The interview consisted of 2 technical questions (linked lists and strings), followed by personal questions. The question that most threw me was "why do you want to work for an investment banking company." I had struggled with that same question online, and didn't expect to get it again... Overall the interview didn't go well, and I don't expect to hear from them again.
