Three phone interviews prior to SuperDay. First with an HR recruiter, then two more with current associates. SuperDay consisted of traveling to the office for 6 30 minute interviews, some in person, some via webcast. Superday is almost entirely behavioral, with one technical interview.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at PIMCO (Miami, FL) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process consisted of several rounds —Hirevue (10 questions - behavioral & FI/macro), Technical interview which was a month after the HV (consisted heavily in Duration/convexity/FI portfolio construction), Superday (5 rounds with different teams in different locations) and an Excel assessment.
The whole process took around 3.5 months and a lot of practice and deep study into certain macro economics and fixed income concepts. I received a rejection email 3 weeks after Superday.
hirevue then wait 6 weeks till superday. 4 rounds of back-to-back interviews with interviewers from different location on superday. Mix of technical, behavioural and motivation. Little Q&A session in the end of each interview.
My interview process consisted of 2 parts:
1. On-demand digital interview (pretty standard questions about who you are, some behavioural stories, why you're interested in the firm + some questions about recent market news)
2. Virtual superday (four 30 minutes Interviews; Business Formal)
