Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about a company you use a lot and if its a good company
Interview with the PPP Group (private equity). One round of fit questions with investor relations team, one round of technical questions with the investment team. Technical questions include valuation method, explaining rationale of certain recent deals, etc. The IR team was quite nice, but the investment team members did not care at all about the interview. A VP was clearly working / not listening while I was speaking, and the goal of the analyst was clearly to go as technical as possible with the candidate, which did not feel like interviewing for a discovery week programme.
