I applied through university. I interviewed at PIMCO (Newport Beach, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Applied through Indeed and got a call back a few weeks later. I was scheduled for a phone screen with an associate. A lot of macro and fixed income questions were asked. Overall it was tough
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Relationship between fixed income market, interest rates and global macroeconomics
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PIMCO in Apr 2011
Interview
Started with a phone interview, which was fit based and straight-forward. Was then invited to the CA office for a Superday consisting of five 30 minute interviews, one of which was a 2 on 1. I would recommend everyone read up on their fixed income and know what convexity, duration, and so on are before they interview.
