Phone interview coming up..want to know any inputs on how the interview process is for Imperial Capital..telephone..2nd round etc.. Have searched and haven't found answers..help's appreciated.
NY office?
LA office
first years get their nuts chopped off and then get locked inside the forbidden city
haha thats an intense phone interview...
Can only speak a little to the NY office, not LA. Sorry.
NY's fine, I don't think it would be that different..what was your experience like? What kind of questions?
Thanks
how did the interview go...did you follow through/go to further interviews or work there now??
Anyone have any updated info on Imperial Capital?
also interested if anyone has any updated info. Thanks in advance
bump. looking for info on ibd interviews, thanks!
help me understand how u have an interview when they don't begin the process until january?
I interviewed with their LA office recently. First round phone interview is pretty standard. I interviewed with them off cycle and was brought in for an interview end of Octoberish after a phone screen and first round phone interview. They ask you typical questions like why banking, why middle market, why imperial, etc. Then a lot of basic technicals. Questions I got (and remember) were:
1) DCF walk through and drill down (e.g., how to calc wacc and then cost of equity, when looking at peers for equity cost of private company would you take mean or median and why, why do we typically use UFCF etc.)
2) what are some common adjustments made to normalize ebitda
3) valuation methodologies and pros and cons to each
4) walk me through an LBO. What is a cap table? What assumptions have greatest effect on valuation/IRR, etc
5) couple of enterprise value related questions. Need to know formula. Why subtract excess cash? Go from EV to equity value, etc.
6) how do the three statements tie together; might have been a depreciation flow question
7) walk me how to get to EBITDA from top of income statement
Those are what I remember. I heard back about "super day" pretty quickly after phone interview. The office interview had a few more technical questions but was definitely more fit-focused. They seem like a tight knit group and were pretty cool guys overall. Wanted to know about interests outside of work, what you do for fun, etc. Definitely recommend expressing that you're really interested in the generalist aspect of the role and that you want exposure to different industries and products (mostly do m&a and debt raises, also some restructuring but was told the restructuring people kind of operate separately from the rest or something like that). They also want to know that you really want to be in LA (if this is for their LA office obviously).
This is great - thanks for the insight.
Was this for a FT or SA?
FT off cycle. Had two years of work experience.

Does anyone know how interviews are like at Imperial Capital in LA? Please share your experiences.
Also, if anyone has worked there, how is it? the people, culture, hours, etc..
Appreciate it.
Don't know specifically about LA but my NY office interview was very technical. Know about restructuring and definitely know a lot about valuations.
imperial capital is going IPO this week.
Imperial Capital interview - Focus on restructuring? (Originally Posted: 03/10/2011)
Anyone have an interview with this bank for SA in the SF office/any ofifce? I've done some searches but nothing really came up except that they focus on restructuring. I'm not sure what division my interview is for as they didn't really specify. Mine is for the SF office.
Any tips? Is this bank good / good name for FT recruiting?
Thanks.
Decent/Strong MM West Coast firm. They HQ are in LA I believe, with SF being a regional office. Should put you in a good position for FT recruiting if you are aiming to get into a BB
Thanks brutalglide.
If anyone can help me out with some input on their interviews that'll be helpful. I'm going to prep for technicals regardless but it would be a bit better to not have to go in blind especially if there will be a ton of restructuring questions when I'm mainly aiming for M&A.
prepare for both restructuring questions and M&A questions as the interviews are generally technical
Have never interviewed there, but I've also heard it's fairly technical. HQ in LA is a pretty awesome office to be in, not entirely sure about their SF presence.
im looking at imperial's LA office as well for SA positions....how did the interview go?
what was the break down? ex how much focus on restructuring vs m&a technical, fit questions, accting qs...anything would help
