Summer Analyst

I first met their team at an on campus information session in January of 2014. The founder and MD is a UChicago undergrad alumnus. Talked to a couple of the associates at the info session, followed-up with them afterwards and was invited to do a phone screening. The phone interview was with 2 associates and was basic "walk me through your resume" type stuff. A few behavioral questions but they are mostly looking for a reason you are interested in private equity. I got called back for a one on one interview that was half behavioral and half technical (walk me through how a how a change in X flows through the financial statements, walk me through an LBO, some short cases mainly focused on valuation). The last interview was a 2 on 1 covering lots of the same technical topics. They grilled a little bit more on background here, really trying to see how you handle stress.

They got back to me about a month later. Very nice people. Straightforward interview process .
