Please describe the interview / hiring process.
First round OCR then invited back to offices for super day. Super day consisted of 5 1:1 30 minute interviews, lunch with a group of analysts/associates, and then a 1hour case study. Questions in interviews ranged from basic fit question to valuation. If you are prepared for IB interviews you will definitely be prepared for Duff as it is virtually same prep.

The case study used for Valuation interviews was exactly the same as used by IBD (my buddy had an interview in NYC and got same case). You have a company looking to make a strategic acquisition to fuel growth & realize revenue synergies. You need to value the target using DCF and comps as well as figure out WACC. Case study is with your group and one of the Duff juniors sits in on the case with you to observe your group dynamics and gauge individual knowledge.
