Initial HR screen (motivations + resume walkthrough)
Technical round with an associate (valuation, accounting, deal experience)
Case study/modeling test (take-home)
Final round with VP/Director (fit + market/industry questions)
Overall smooth and professional. Mix of technical and behavioral. Culture-focused team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through a DCF.
How do you value a company with negative EBITDA?
What are the key differences between a merger and an acquisition?
How do you calculate WACC?
Walk me through a recent deal you worked on.
What are some key drivers in an LBO model?
Not very technical, mainly behavioral - both rounds of interviews. Felt like a conversation more so than an interview. Very nice people overall. Particularly focused on culture and behavioral fit more than anything
