The percentile score in the title is calculated across the entire Company Database and uses an adjusted score based on Bayesian Estimates (to account for companies that have few interview insights).

Interview
PCG is a small shop, focused on healthy & sustainable investment banking services, with particular expertise in growth equity transactions. I was speaking with them about an associate/business development position.

First phase was phone interviews with 3 of their partners, 2 of whom were founders. Essentially a resume run through/personality/fit assessment.

After initial phone conversations, I held a few other conversations with other partners and/or vice presidents, principally focused on strategy and structure of business development function.

Second phase was a series of in-person interviews, doubling up with the partners I had already spoke with, and meeting a number of other employees.

All phases of the interview were essentially fit/personality focused, as this was for a business dev. role.

It was evident the firm had a very good office culture, with a collaborative work environment, and opportunity to take on many tasks. Everyone was very friendly, and passionate about the industry segments they most focused in, with many being accomplished athletes/outdoor enthusiasts.

1st round from HR - all fit questions, all stupid questions like "biggest strengths." Some ok questions about how well I know excel, if I've handled data rooms, etc.
2nd round with an MD - went right into talking about prior deals. very nice, told me I wasn't right for it at the end of the call, not the usual "don't call us, we'll call you"
Interview Questions
tell me about X deal you did. Expected the technicals. No bs type of conversation.
