K1 Investments

Just need to let anyone applying there know this place actually sucks, all the other WSO posts are true and everything on Glassdoor is true.

Yes, they do in fact ask you what your parents do, yes they do in fact ask you what your parents make. They focus super hard on your highschool experience and what you were doing back then, didn’t ask me anything about my time in college.

Technicals were just stuff he made up on the spot, they also didn’t make sense and then when you ask for clarification about the question, he tells you that you got it wrong and proceeds to lecture you on your mistake.

At this point I don’t care if they are a super good firm or not, they aren’t a good firm but after this interview I highly recommend not to waste your time with them, super toxic.

 

had the same experience. extremely rude, very uncomfortable / bizarre questions. would rather not work in finance than work at this firm tbh. their interviews are reflective of their culture, and i couldnt imagine working in such a toxic place.
