Phone screening in fall semester of sophomore year. Round 1 interview in January of my sophomore year. Superday in person (consisting of 4 back to back interviews) was early February on my sophomore year. This was for Evercore Menlo Park. People were really nice and seniors seem like they care about their analysts and associates. Phone screening was just a conversation. R1 was very technical, with Merger Math and Advanced Accounting questions. Superday was 30% behavioral, 40% industry specific technical and 30% regular IB technical.

Interview
I had chatted a lot of people from my school at the firm due to the fact that they came on campus to host an event, we did a firms trip to the NY office, and I had a lot of friends who warm connected me to analysts and associates there, which allowed me to get a referral for first round. It started with basic behaviourals (TMAY, why this firm, why banking). The technicals were also a good mix of conceptuals, math (M&A math, paper DCF), and industry knowledge (recent Evercore deal, industry trend). I unfortunately was not able to get a second round so I can only speak to the first round process.
