I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Marcus & Associates (New York, NY) in Jul 2012
Interview
Straightforward. Senior Leadership wasn't keen to ask "gotcha" questions or brain teasers. it was a collaborative exchange: this is what M&A can offer you, tell us what you can offer us. From there, a dialogue merging these concepts. I left having a very concrete idea of what I would be walking into and what my expectations were. I had a strong sense of trajectory, where inside the business I could expand/own success, and where I would need guidance and training on to accelerate my runway into a greater role inside the firm.
