Interview Process and FAQ's
WHILE APPLYING
We interview as many people from as many places as possible. We would love to interview everyone who applies and meets our internal parameters. We hire only graduates.
If there’s something you think we should know about that doesn’t fit nicely onto your resume/CV, feel free to include it in the text box at the bottom of our application or email along with your CV.
Any graduate can apply for the internship program. But those with previous finance experience are welcome to apply.
Unfortunately, we do not answer calls related to hiring. All communications will be via email.
Depending on your role and which office you’re in, this might vary a bit, but we work as per US hours from 5:30 pm to 2 am IST, Monday to Friday.
When we receive an application, we consider it for all open roles. Our goal is to help you figure out which role could be the one for you.
We don’t technically have one; our applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We do recommend applying as soon as possible, though.
Tell us! We can often work with you to expedite your interview process so that you know what all your options are and can make an informed decision.
DURING THE INTERVIEW PROCESS
For any interview processes not outlined above, it can be a bit more bespoke; in those cases, your recruiter can give you more information about what to expect.
We don’t interview during the weekends. Interviews will be scheduled during local business hours, Monday – Friday and will be informed to the candidate well in advance.
If we’re speaking to you on the phone, you should wait for our call. If you know you’ll have a poor connection or won’t have access to a phone, please let us know ahead of time, and we’ll coordinate your interview via Skype/Zoom.
No, you will have to bear your own cost if you are travelling to Pune in person for the interview.
We’re a casual office, so many of us wear jeans and a collared t-shirt most days. If you’re coming from your current job, we understand you might be dressed a bit more formally. Either way, we won’t judge.
If it’s 10-15 minutes ahead of your scheduled interview time, feel free to come to the office and get settled in. If you’re way ahead of schedule, you might want to consider grabbing a tea or a coffee nearby.
There is a lot of information on the internet—some true, some not. Don’t believe everything you read. If you’re curious about something you’ve heard, ask us about it! We’re here to help.
POST-INTERVIEW
You should hear back from us within 2 weeks’ time. We will follow up with you whether or not we’re moving forward with the process, so if you haven’t heard by then, please follow up with your recruiter. That will be the ideal situation.
You can absolutely reinterview if it didn’t work out the first time. We usually recommend waiting for at least six months (in the case of current interns), or until your experience or circumstances have changed (in the case of experienced hires). This is not a hard and fast rule, but we believe it’s a reasonable timeline.
IF ALL GOES WELL…
Let’s hope that all of this works out, and we decide to make you an offer. Congrats! This is the best part… but you might still have some questions.
We can’t wait for you to join, either. We’ll need to run some standard background checks and confirm your start date with your team. Hopefully the wait shouldn’t be too long.
