Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela PIMCO (Newport Beach, CA) em fev. de 2018
Entrevista
First round was a phone screening followed by a superday and then the offer decision. Everyone I met at the firm was really friendly and genuine which made the whole process a lot more worthwhile. They push you to the limits of your knowledge because they want to see what you can do but are nevertheless willing to help guide you to the solution. Definitely more interested in how you think and how you are as a person (i.e. airplane test) rather than just getting to the right answer. Had a great experience.
Candidatei-me por meio de uma faculdade ou universidade. Fui entrevistado pela PIMCO em jan. de 2015
Entrevista
The interview was through my university, and held on-campus. There were two interviewers, one an associate and one a VP. The associate said basically nothing, and the VP did all the talking. They introduced themselves then jumped right in with macro questions, which they really grilled me on, so if you are interviewing here make sure you did your research. As I was talking he kept asking me questions, to expand on what I just said etc. That was followed up with my recommendations for investments, as well as some brief questions about my work experience. There wasn't really any "fit" aspect or behavioral, just knowledge of current events and finance. I was pretty surprised, because for a first interview I at least expected them to ask me about my resume etc. before just jumping into the more technical side. The interviewers were overall pleasant but not very engaging.
