I applied through other source. I interviewed at Value Research
Interview
There was a screening test followed by an Excel test which included basic finance formulas and a short case study. Though it was communicated that the test will have data related to mutual funds, that wasn't the case. The data set was more related from a industry analysis point of view.
Positive experience
Easy interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Value Research (Noida) in Jun 2024
Interview
The selection process consisted of three phases: an initial assessment, a team-specific task, and an interview. The initial assessment and task were quite straightforward and manageable, especially with the ample time provided for completion. The interview felt more like a conversation than a formal interview. The senior management was very understanding of my personal limitations and tried to accommodate them accordingly.
