I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dresner Partners Investment Banking (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2026
Interview
It was held through online. The analyst and associate are very nice. General behavioral questions and technical questions. They make sure you feel comfortable through out the process. I was hired for seasonal intern, so it might be different for full time.

Interview
Ok experience overall.
The process was lengthy (~2 months) and changed from the originally stated 3 rounds with one case study and a personality assessment (Wonderlic) to ~5 rounds with two case studies. The interviews were a mix of phone calls, virtual meetings, and in-person office visits. The modeling case study was completed in-office, while the CIM case study was take-home.
The process felt disorganized at times, moving from 3 to 5 rounds, and seeing the role reposted while I was still interviewing made it feel like I was being led on.
That said, everyone I met with was polite and personable.
