Got connected to an MD, had a phone screen with an associate and got behavioral / fit type questions. Went into the office for an in-person interview and got asked very light interviews. This was for a Summer 2019 internship.

Reached out to an alumni at the firm. Was then contacted by the current intern at Capello who scheduled a phone interview with me. Know all your technicals for DCF, EV/Equity Value, & Accounting. Interviewer asked me questions verbatim from BIWS guides

Got an interview through a current intern who recommended me. First round screens are traditionally through interns or analysts, followed by a phone or in person interview with an MD.

Interview was mainly behavioral/fit questions with a few simple technical questions at the very end.

Call with an analyst. Got the offer from an associate a month later. They really are transparent with the type of firm they are. All males, very collegiate atmosphere.

I knew someone who knew someone there. I got an informational interview and then I had a phone interview a few months later. They asked mainly technicals. Then I had an in-person interview which was mainly behavioral.

Interview consisted of the following:
- Chat with interns
- Multiple behavioral interviews with analysts
- Technical interview with analyst and associate

I reached out to someone online via cold emailing and ended up getting a positive response (as in they wanted to speak with me more) and set up a phone call with an analyst. It was pretty informal and relaxed but he did ask some accounting/valuation questions. Then a few weeks later I heard from someone higher up and had a similar phone call and within a few days I had a final round (phone) interview set up. I had the offer within a week of the final phone call.

I interviewed for a Fall Analyst position in August 2011. As the interview was off-cycle, I'd say the interview process was more lax compared to the Summer Analyst class. I initially cold-called the firm in June 2012 and asked the receptionist for the Head of Recruiting. As the bank is a boutique, recruiting duties were given to an Analyst at the firm. At this point, I left a professional yet brief voicemail explaining my interests in IB, my desire to be a Summer Analyst, and for an opportunity to chat. To my surprise, 15 minutes later, my voicemail was returned and I had a brief chat with the Analyst.

All Summer Analyst spots were filled by June 2012, so I used the phone call as a networking opportunity. Over the course of three months, I exchanged emails with the Analyst and he recommended some reading material. In addition, he put in touch with another Analyst at the firm who had a similar background to me (Non-Target). After two months of email exchanges, I was invited in for a personal Super-Day for a Fall Analyst Position. The Super-Day consisted of being interviewed by the one Analyst and two Associates. The whole Super-Day process took about 2.5 - 3 hours, each interview lasting approximately 30 - 45 minutes. At the end of the interview, I was astonished to have received a Fall Analyst offer.

Cappello Capital is an excellent office and strongly recommended. Although the Fall Internship is unpaid, the opportunities and networking are excellent. I know former Summer Analysts who now work at Barclays, Houlihan Lokey, Eastdil Secured, Wells Fargo Securities, etc. I can also confirm that Summer Analysts / Summer Associates have interviewed for Green Hill and Evercore in the past. For a Fall Analyst position, you are expected to be able to come into the office full-time three days a week. In general, hours were from 8:30 AM - 10 PM. Summer Analysts were expected to work longer hours. Since I was balancing school, there were no all nighters, although this is justified as the internship is unpaid. In addition, two of my former Fall Analysts continued through the Spring and received Full-Time offers from Cappello. The Firm has great people, a laid-back, Santa-Monica feel, and bankers are generally kind to one another. However, at least 3-4 Analysts / Associates have left in the last year, so the culture may have shifted. The firm does a $25 dinner credit, which leads to a lot of camaraderie between Analysts as you have dinner with one another night after night. From the offices I've seen, I've yet to see a better looking office, with one of the best ocean views around at 100 Wilshire. The owner is a big-time art collector and his personal collection is showcased throughout the office. Solid IB internship through and through.

General questions, why banking, then walk me through your resume but with multiple parts: how many hours per week, and what did you get out of it?
