Summer Analyst Internship

I went to a non-target school, and got it by chance after speaking with ONE alumni who had joined the firm one year prior. Centerview sent out slots for a phone screen before applications opened. The phone screen was a 1-on-1 Zoom call with about 2-3 weeks notice with an analyst at the firm, and all questions were technical. The questions consisted of a deferred revenue "walk me through the statements" question, with a 2-year time period, an IRR question, a question about leverage ratio, EV/EBITDA, and Debt/EBITDA, a question about working capital and why one company would have a lower EBITDA than the other, a "walk me through a deal", and one behavioral question about a class I would choose to teach if I could. The people are very kind, but Centerview analysts work so hard and often don't get the time to respond to networking emails. The firm itself highly values entrepreneurial backgrounds, creative thinking, and the ability to think under pressure. MANY of the technical interview questions will consist of a lot of numbers and mental math. Technicals pretty much have to be perfect to advance to the next round. Superday will consist of a lot of brain-teasers and creative problem-solving questions.
