Private Equity Analyst

I was contacted by a headhunter. I had a first round interview with an Associate and the final round with the company's founder.

The first interview was a telephone interview with an Associate who has spent the past 4+ years with the company, after joining straight from undergrad. It was a very relaxed and nice conversation.

The final interview took place in their offices and was scheduled with the founder of the funds. The atmosphere in the office was very strange and I didn't feel comfortable at all. When the interview began, the founder didn't feel it was necessary to introduce himself nor shake my hand. He started straight into a LBO Case Study. He was very rude the entire time and expected me to know things that I guess were essential for his day to day job, but no way an entry level candidate could know.

Overall my experience was very negative.
