      Anonymous employee
      Newport Beach, CA
      Accepted offer
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PIMCO (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2014

      Interview

      Applied through campus website, first round interview in summer portfolio analyst. Pretty basic, walk me through your resume, why PIMCO, how do you handle fast paced environments etc. Some technical questions, what is the duration/convexity of a bond what does it mean. Say a bond has a duration of 5 years and interest rates rose 1%, what happens to the bonds price. Not too bad of an interview, although the interviewers were kinda awkward.

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at PIMCO (Newport Beach, CA) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      Relatively straightforward, didn’t ask a ton of behavioral just got straight to the point. Was asked a lot about my resume and background which made sense considering I had a fixed income background.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PIMCO (Los Angeles Subdivision)

      Interview

      Hireview has technical part. So you probably should prepare behavioral and technical in fixed income. 10 questions. Be prepared so you don' get superise on tech questions. Typically tech questions should not appear in Hirevue but it did for PIMCO

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why duration has a negative slope
      Answer question
