The interview process was very hard and very difficult, I did not get the offer for the investment banking analyst. Wish anyone the best if they are doing it. Good Luck

Entrevista
I only had one phone interview with them. The interviewer obviously was a high class manager of some department(probably HR) But he sounded pretty disrespectful and almost intimidating and I never felt comfortable or cared during the interview. I thought this was funny because they publicly state on their website that "they have low tolerance for bureaucracy, but he sounded exactly like a bureaucrat. I don't know this applies to BC in any other regions but at least for the Japanese division, this might be true. At least that's how I felt. I was really turned off by this fact and the interview didn't go well, not to your surprise.Things he asked me was by educational background and the reasons to apply for the job, etc. There were no tricky questions or anything but typical questions.

Entrevista
Multiple back to back interviews, each with different more senior members of the team. Ssome were behaviorals with dif ppl, some were fully technical doing paper LBOs, and some brainteasers.
Two parts—puzzle solving and company fit. The puzzle-solving part was fine. The company fit part was odd and long. Basically, just a bunch of statements about company culture/teamwork, ranking them, then ranking them again when the question was asked in a different way.

They asked a math problem about probability. Very simple. The questions became progressively harder.
