Default Re: 2nd round Finance Interview...what to expect?

[ QUOTE ]
Typical/basic analysis questions:

How to valuate a company based on quantitative and qualitative analysis...

Quant:

DCF Method (know the formula)
P/E and other ratios compared to industry/sector avg

Qual:
Competition in the marketplace (Five Forces Model)
Future outlook of sector
General public conceptions of the company
Product pipeline

Expect 1 or 2 brainteaser type questions

Who was round 1 with? HR? Round 2 with department head?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a tech manufacturing firm, there probably not going to ask questions about the P/E ratio.

OP, typically the 2nd round is more of a fit thing where you get to ask more specific questions about the position and company.
