Summer Analyst Interview - Generalist
In general, the questions they asked were about PE broadly (what is PE, what do you look for in a company you're buying out, etc.), prior financial experience/interest (as a nontraditional major) and about the three accounting statements. I had not taken accounting so I was stuck on those. At the end of the interview, there was a chance to "sell yourself" and just say why you would be good for Roark. One question that came out of left field was when I was asked to "explain something hard," as I did not have anything immediately prepared. Also, not as hard, there was explaining the 08 Crisis in layman's terms.
I heard back from them a few days later over email that I would not be going any further in the interview process.
