Private Equity Intern

I applied through UMD's hiring website. Within a week I was called to come in an interview at the office. I was greeted by the recruiter and was immediately told that I had fifteen minutes to read an article about Obamacare and create a slideshow that presented the most important parts. I then was immediately given another form that required me to write an essay on why the firm should buy a food truck company. Afterwards I was interview by the firm manager and was asked some of the hardest questions I've been asked during an interview. Most of them were brain teasers, but were extremely difficult to answer at all.
