Applied via company's online portal. Meticulous interview process overall. Initial Hirevue interview + long superday. They care about culture fit, knowledge, interest in Economics and bond technicals a lot. They notify people with decisions very quickly.
I applied through university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at PIMCO (Baton Rouge, LA) in Sept 2021
Interview
This company was not very personable. I never got a phone call or ever met anyone who worked for this company. They also did not respond to application and video submissions in a timely manner. For example, they said they would get back in around 3 weeks and it took them at least 5. I would not recommend applying to work for this firm. From the start of my application till the rejection post interview was 4 months. I'm very glad I already accepted another offer when I received the rejection email.

All questions were geared on what's going on in the economy? and then they would delve in deeper with questions.
