I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sanford C. Bernstein in Mar 2017
Interview
Interviewed with 3-4 people from associate to analyst to director of research. Very friendly and very thorough. Mostly fit questions and not many technical questions. Each ended with a market sizing case study. Only one asked for a stock pitch. They are looking for intellectual power and commitment to equity research. Almost everyone I spoke with had some consulting experience in the past.
