Please describe the interview / hiring process.
It was a 3 on 1 interview consisting of HR, Alumni, and Associate. First 15 minutes was a behavioral interview consisting of fit and general industry knowledge questions. Questions were fairly standard and easy as long as you knew the space and why middle market/show interest in trends in EBITDA and Debt multiples. Private equity case study followed where you were a PE investor and they were the company selling. You had to ask certain questions about cash flows, EBITDA, debt load, product, management, etc. and then come up with a valuation based on an implied multiple range for the industry and your conclusions based on their answers. They never got back to me though despite generally positive feedback.
