I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PIMCO (London, England) in Nov 2022
Interview
Very short. Seemed the interviewer was not prepared, Interviewer did not turn on camera. That made me uncomfortable as I was unable to read body language. Lasted for just 20 minutes.
Consulting type of interview. We went through many different questions all very hands-on practical questions that I only would've known if I had more experience, even though I was a new hire. I really was thrown off as I thought this was a asset management company.
