I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Anthemis (New York, NY) in Jul 2024
Interview
First round interview was with the hiring investment professional, second round with another person on the investment team and third round a case.
They were overall very fast and responsive throughout the process, keeping a tight timeline and sticking to the deadlines, which was great and appreciated.
Transparent and upfront team. Felt like the process was fair.
Very smart team interested in understanding how you think.
I have perticipatrd only in one round. It was a 30 minutes general interview questions about resume and future role. Very friendly environment during the interview. After the interview they have provided feedback on what they were looking for and why they decide not to move to the next round. It was as a very useful experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about yourself. What attracts you about this job?
Why you want to move from your current job?
First interview was directly with a member of the team that I was applying to. Considering that the fund has a HR function, this seemed inappropriate, as the interviewer tried to wing it and thus the conversation was very unstructured and did not cover relevant topics.
The interviewer couldn't have been more unprofessional: was disinterested, arrogant despite not having any particularly strong experience to be a qualified judge and asked some questions that are legally questionable under UK employment law.
Came away from it thinking that I did not want to work with such a person, someone who clearly just wanted to maintain their niche in the fund, instead of helping it add strong talent.
We are very sorry to hear about your interview experience and would like to hear more from you as your comments are concerning to us. We are always looking for ways to improve so if you would like to discuss further please don't hesitate to contact me.
