I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lazard (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2011
Interview
Went in without much of a corporate finance background, and got peppered with quantitative financial questions despite saying up front that my classes were mainly just economics. So kind of a struggle to keep going through all these concepts I hadn't heard of before.
Tough interview for me I did not enjoy it very smart ppl tho - super sharp I can’t say anything bad ab that. Impressive deal record and great people to be honest
Good process and strong HR team who respond quickly. Was a three stage interview process as well. Positive feedback on the whole to be fair as went quite smoothly and so was enjoyable very much
The fist part of the process was a video interview. The interview consisted of three questions, for each of which you were given two minutes to answer for each and unlimited time in between each question.
