Merrill Lynch Interview Surveys Merrill Lynch Workplace Surveys Merrill Lynch Salary Surveys Merrill Lynch Business Outlook Surveys Title of position interviewed for: Investment Banking Analyst Approximate date of interview: 10/1999 Location: Chicago Submitted on: 05-Feb-03 Job Title Interview Survey Investment Banking Analyst There were 3 rounds with Merrill. The first was a typical on-campus interview (2-on-1 interview). It was short and typical but very important to make a good impression. The second round was the next day near campus. This involved two longer interviews, but the questions were very similar (why ibnaking, why merrill, how do you value a firm, etc.). The final round entailed the typical "Super Saturday," which started on a Friday night with a dinner and informal gathering. On Saturday, each candidate went through 6 quick 30 min. interviews. At this stage questions often varied: managing directors were more likely to ask bigger picture questions, whereas associates likely would ask detailed financial valuation questions and personality questions. Some questions I recall: "How do you value a firm and what are the different valuation methods?" "Why do you want to do investment banking, and specifically at Merrill Lynch?" "Tell me about yourself and why you went to [your school]?"
