One phone interview - General Question "Why RBC" "Why fixed income" Three one on one interviews with three different team leaders: fixed income technical question + IT technical question + behavioral. 1. written questions consist of some easy rearranging discount factor equations and a forward rate calculation (e.g. given period 1 and 2 rate, calculate the rate from period 2 to 3).Technical Questions regarding fixed income "what is yield curve" "what do you know about swap" "what is FRAs" "what is clean price" 2. IT technical question, no written test, I failed on this one. the questions I've got was very flexible, coz I don't have any IT background, the interviewer had to focus on the existing knowledge I had like database, SQL, JAVA. If you know that JAVA is an "object orientated program language" you should be fine. 3. Behavioral - general behavioral questions, "how do you manage team...give example" "how do you manage your time if someone seeks help from you when you are busy." the overall experience was quite enjoyable except the IT part that is really not my thing.

Very comfortable interview. The two managers interviewing me asked about basic issues, my personality, difficulties and challenges I've encountered in the past and my problem solving skills. Also tested for attention to detail, ability to think critically and overall good sense of humour to fit in with a very community oriented environment. Great place to interview.
