I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PIMCO (London, England) in Oct 2022
Interview
First round is with the HR and second round with the hiring manager. Phone interview with the HR about 30min and 1 hour with the hiring manager. They will ask about your experience and also some technical questions.

Question 1
Why Do you think you will be a good fit for this role and why Pimco
Consulting type of interview. We went through many different questions all very hands-on practical questions that I only would've known if I had more experience, even though I was a new hire. I really was thrown off as I thought this was a asset management company.
