I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Jefferies (San Francisco, CA) in May 2021
Interview
The interview process was challenging and thorough. It can be long; need to know your stuff. Can't anticipate what questions they will ask. Be prepared to have some depth in your personality to call on to demonstrate you are a real person.
Really enjoyed the phone screening with the HR rep. She was super friendly and accommodating. I was told the research team would reach out, but I didn't hear back from them for a couple of weeks and ended up accepting an offer somewhere else.
