Interview
I did an interview after cold emailing an associate/analyst there at the office. He emailed me to set up a time where I am free.
Interview Questions
They just asked me things like do you know what private equity is, why do you want to do this job, to be honest, there weren't really any difficult questions. You have to well prepared to answer these questions, like make sure you research the website and such before applying, because they expect you to know all about the firm. My analyst that interviewed me sounded really unenthusiastic from the start, so try to find a way to answer them so he won't sound so unenthusiastic? And I guess be prepared to ask questions as well.
