I applied through university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Lazard (New York, NY) in Aug 2016
Interview
Phone screen, two 1-on-1 interviews (behavioral), super day (three 1-on-1 interviews that were behavioral, technical and markets/industry related). HR calls you back quickly if you do well and they want to advance you into the next round. All interviews were with VPs, Director and MDs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through the different ways to value a company
Typical CV and competency questions, personal motivations and knowledge of transaction structures. Some discussion of takeover code work also. Generally an informal conversation rather than a structured interview. Partner and director did the interviewign
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lazard (New York, NY) in Oct 2022
Interview
Only had one initial round interview with a junior level team member. It was very casual and high level. Followed up a number of times after the interview and never heard back.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lazard (London, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
Very stimulating and interactive, quality people who spent as much time giving advice as assessing the candidate. An enjoyable interview process, less the online tests, but they are not too difficult.
