I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lazard (New York, NY) in Sep 2016
Interview
Phone Interview asking mostly about "Why Investment Banking" because of technical background. Even asked "Why not consulting?", then Super Day in New York. Phone interview was all behavioral, no technicals asked.
I applied online. I interviewed at Lazard (Cambridge, England) in Oct 2025
Interview
Aptitude test- analysing ability to think critically. Workplace behavioural assessment- identify how you would approach a number of work-related issues. Finally, video assessment- demonstrating enthusiasm and your motivations for the role.
Online Interview consisting of five questions revolving around why Lazard and why the chosen division, as well as some more personal fit questions. For some questions, only 30 seconds of preparation time is given before the recording starts.
Diversity process straight to superday. Focused on getting to know your personality. Four thirty minute interviews online after the in person diversity programming. Overall very nice people who want to get to know you
