I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Edelweiss Alternatives in Mar 2024
Interview
Got the interview because of a friend's reference, still the interview was scheduled after quite some time. More or less easy, first with two controllers (VP) then discussion with HR. The interview doesn't seem to add much to the process, you get hired if you have a good reference, which was atleast my case.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Edelweiss Alternatives (Mumbai) in Apr 2024
Interview
No discussion about the role was done. Interview revolved around "Can you do multitasking, explain what you did in your internships. More questions on your internship experience. The interview was straight to the point and mechanical, rapid fire questions, no room for thinking or any creative thought. In the end I wasn't selected and I went to great lengths to ask them the reason for rejection, they said I lacked articulation of thought, or the ability to present ideas, in other words. And they were right. We never really focus on improving our presentations all we do is learn and read and memorize, which is of no use in the real world.
