J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. J'ai passé un entretien chez PIMCO (New York, NY)
Entretien
Applied via career website. Had an initial first round interview on campus that included both fit and markets question. For the questions on markets/macro, they really drill down to the details by continuously asking follow-up questions or "why" until you couldn't answer anymore. Final round interview in the NY office with 12 different employees. Sets of 2 each with a specific role, such as "markets interview" or "fit interview". Lasted about 3 hours or so.

J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez PIMCO (Miami, FL) en mars 2026
Entretien
The interview process consisted of several rounds —Hirevue (10 questions - behavioral & FI/macro), Technical interview which was a month after the HV (consisted heavily in Duration/convexity/FI portfolio construction), Superday (5 rounds with different teams in different locations) and an Excel assessment.
The whole process took around 3.5 months and a lot of practice and deep study into certain macro economics and fixed income concepts. I received a rejection email 3 weeks after Superday.
hirevue then wait 6 weeks till superday. 4 rounds of back-to-back interviews with interviewers from different location on superday. Mix of technical, behavioural and motivation. Little Q&A session in the end of each interview.
My interview process consisted of 2 parts:
1. On-demand digital interview (pretty standard questions about who you are, some behavioural stories, why you're interested in the firm + some questions about recent market news)
2. Virtual superday (four 30 minutes Interviews; Business Formal)
