Applied online and had a first-round interview via Teams. Discussion focused on background and fit, motivation for investment banking and the firm, and role-specific questions. Interviewer was friendly and supportive throughout.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at William Blair (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2019
Interview
Not very organized. They kept passing me around to different people to speak with, but ultimatley they pursued someone else. I would not have expected that from a big firm
it was overall pretty smooth. People are really nice and welcoming. They want to see you do well by all means. It is a good company but had growing pains during covid.
