Interview Details I got the interview in the on campus career fair. They ask behavioral questions for about 30 minutes, two interviewer, one asked questions and the other take notes of every question I answered. They have a sheet specifying all the interview questions and they just ask one by one. Those questions I remember was: Have you missed deadline? Have you go above and beyond your responsibility? Tell me a time when you have multiple tasks and how you managed them? What finance classes you have taken? (I know the girl who got this internship, is from accounting major. I wonder if they would ask"what accounting classes you have taken" instead of finance classes..) My interview was in Sep. and waited months to get the result.
