I applied through university. I interviewed at PIMCO in Jan 2017
Interview
The first round interview was a brief phone call, took about 25 minutes, asking only behavior questions, no technical questions. The questions weren't tricky or anything, pretty straight forward generic questions that anyone would ask.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you work with a team?
If you were given a project and after you finished, you were told that it wasn't needed anymore, how would you handle that?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at PIMCO (Newport Beach, CA) in Apr 2025
Interview
Relatively straightforward, didn’t ask a ton of behavioral just got straight to the point. Was asked a lot about my resume and background which made sense considering I had a fixed income background.

Question 1
What does the x and y axis stand for on the yield curve
Started out with a general hirevue consisting of some behavioral and some technical followed by a superday with four interviewers and a mix of behavioral and technical questions, but pretty basic
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PIMCO (Los Angeles Subdivision)
Interview
Hireview has technical part. So you probably should prepare behavioral and technical in fixed income. 10 questions. Be prepared so you don' get superise on tech questions. Typically tech questions should not appear in Hirevue but it did for PIMCO
