HR questions were related to your CV: education and working experience (limited as it was very junior). They explain you as well the spirit of the compagny etc... Second interview was with a manager of the risk department (one of your future boss) to ask you general questions about finance and risks (type of risks you know: market, operations, etc... which one you are interested in for your career, what changed since the financial crisis...)
Did you read the JD
What does it mean for the yield and the coupon of a bond if a bond is priced at par? I.e. Discounted value = market value
Tell me about yourself?
A take home exercise, you will have to make your own assumptions .. etc. I cannot disclose the question because I have agreed so.
Are you more business or technical?
I was presented with a case where I had to calculate the probabilities given a case. Question as far as I remember: We have 100,000 clients with a default risk of 2 %. Each client is asking 2 Euros. Q1. What would be the minimum amount we can lose? Q2. What would be the maximum amount we can lose? Q3. What is the probability of 20,000 clients completely defaulting? Just tell us the formula. Q4. What kind of distribution does the Q3 represent?
Technical questions
I was asked some basic questions regarding the risk and return in different scenarios and how the risk analysis would be performed. E.g. Given a company with no previous record of transaction with us, why would we lend them the money?
What do you know about Capco and why you would like to work for our company? Why would you like to work in the consulting area?
