I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Nomura (New York, NY) in Dec 2021
Interview
Asked you to talk about yourself and resume. Then, it went to more professional-wise questions. A bit of pressure but it was good overall. Not only taking Asian-based companies, but also majorly takes American based companies as their clients.
The first round is with an assoc or analyst lasting 30 min via teams, mostly behavioural but some technical questions.
The final round consisting of three 30 min interviews with diff seniority team members.
