      Investment Associate Interview

      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Prudential (New York, NY) in Oct 2020

      Interview

      Spoke with a mid-level employee. Asked me about prior experience and high level views on asset allocation. It gave me the sense that Prudential is happy to get allocation from large private equity funds.

      Investment Associate Interview

      31 Oct 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chicago, IL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Prudential (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2010

      Interview

      For the positions they do not recruit on campus for they start with phone interviews. I had a phone interview with one woman and one gentleman. It lasted all of 20-25 minutes. It was quick and to the point. Here are some questions: - "What do you think we do here at Prudential Capital Group (PCG)?" - "Why do you want to do investing?" - "Tell me about a time when you were responsible for a marketing/sales plan." - "Let's say you were in a room with a CFO and you tried selling him on bringing his business. His company had a floating rate note and you were trying to bring him over to Prudential with a fixed rate note. What would you say to convince him to bring his business to us?" - "How would you respond if he said "Well, the yield curve is sloping up so why would should I pay your higher rate?" There were more questions and most of them were fair. However, it did seem like they had their mind made up on who they were going to bring in and I didn't seem to make the list. Whether that's true or not that's the vibe I got. In the end they told me I did not have the "sales/marketing experience" they were looking for but I had the finance and accounting skills that were necessary for the job.
