I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AllianceBernstein (New York, NY) in June 2010
Interview
Interviewed with the hiring manager, lead APM for the group, and 2 portfolio managers. They asked me about my background - some fit questions. But I also had a lot of technical questions re: fixed income securities - duration, convexity, yield curve, etc. The hiring manager asked me a few brainteasers, though my final answer was much less important than my ability to walk her through my thought process.
