4 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The written test is in two phases; one is mandatory and the other is for people interested in research. I would suggest taking both the tests whether interested in research or not. It will add to your experience and performing well in the research profile test increases your probability of selection for the interview. Analytical questions, and some question from the basics of data structures (Linked lists, stacks, queues etc.) and algorithm design.
Tips: Questions from the written test which you have solved and not solved, both are generally asked - prepare well for this.
Technical questions on algorithms and data structures are asked. The ones asked are generally standard interview questions, so have a look at them and prepare from blogs (I did from The Nameless blog)Practice questions on analytics and data structures. The questions asked are of a high standard so try to solve a few good problems for practice rather than hundred easy ones.
A simple understanding of data structures is enough

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: To test your analytical and technical skills, try to solve every question, and even you are not able to solve a few, show your fighting spirit and tell them the way you want to approach any particular question.
Tips: If you already know the answer to any question, don't just tell the answer quickly, solve it as though you're solving it for the first time and take your time.
Be cool, they will generally help you while solving the problems.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: After you have cleared first one, they conduct another to test you one more time.
If you have performed exceptionally well in the first interview, this will be easy. Otherwise they will ask few more questions.
Tips: Question are quite similar to first one - some more questions on algorithms and data structures.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: In FICO interview I felt HR round was just nominal if you have cleared the first two rounds.
They will test whether you want to join FICO or not.Questions are very general .
"Tell me about yourself, and about your family background", "Why FICO?", "Why this particular profile" etc.Show utmost dedication to FICO, and the will to never leave it.
Tips: And if you are asked by interviewer to ask a question if you have any, never say no - always ask
some question which is in your mind (except absurd ones).

General Tips: Good analytical skills, proficiency at solving permutations and combinations problems, and puzzle-solving skills.
Conceptual understanding of algorithms and data structures, and a good knowledge of any programming language, preferably C or C++ .
A good internship always gives you an edge over the others.
Skill Tips: I had taken the written test for both profiles so my interview was as a research profile aspirant but I was finally selected for my software profile. Those who had not taken the research profile test had their interview conducted a bit differently; they were asked more questions on analytics and puzzles. So prepare hard with puzzles, they will always help you in any company interview.
For preparation of the concepts of algorithms and data structures, Cormen is a good book and MIT course materials which are available on LAN are a good source to learn from as well, as is the Internet itself.
Skills: Programming, Analytical skills, Puzzle solving

5 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: They were very similar to CAT type questions.
Cut-off is very low compared to mock-CATs. So if there are about 35-40 questions, answering 18-20 correctly should suffice. Soft skills play an important role here.I think there was no negative marking. Build a strategy how you are going to mark the questions you couldn't attempt.
Some questions are tricky. Don't fall for them.
Tips: Preparing for CAT will help anyone to clear the written test.
Total Questions: 40

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: All the shortlisted students were given some 5 topics to prepare for. They were the current financial issues across globe.
Tips: This was different from last year.Never ask any questions about work life-balance, work hours or get too much into detail about their project (asking about their risk management practices, etc).

Round: Behavorial Interview
Experience: Two MDs took my first round of interview. My interview was about 50 minutes (30 mins is average). Reason for lengthy interview was one of my financial projects. I explained at length to them, which itself took about 25 minutes. Otherwise they concentrated on some basic questions like what is CDF and its properties? Integrate arctan(x). Bayes theorem based problems.
Tips: Some of my friends were asked puzzles. Substantiate everything on your CV. Read the basic concepts of your branch. Prepare for some HR questions - have unique and different answer. Avoid using words like passion, etc.
Read some basic subjects - no matter what department you are in.Avoid bookish answers for HR questions. Rather relate them to your past and answer.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Rest of the content of my CV was covered.More questions were asked about subjects, certifications, projects etc.

General Tips: Puzzles are very important for non-finance people.
One important note : Certifications ( CFA, NCFM, FRM, PRM or actuaries) doesn't fill all the voids in your profile. A good profile without CFA will get you the shortlist but not the other way.
Completing 1 or 2 financial projects is beneficial. Make sure you know everything about the project and beyond. What more could have been achieved? What is the expected result?
Anyone with low CG should be involved in a lot of extra-curricular activities and elaborate how the experience will help in the financial industry.
