Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I had exploding IB offers from other firms and I talked to an alum at Evercore who got me into the interview process. There was a first round of interviews and then the super day, which consisted of 4 or 5 one-on-one interviews at their office, with a break in the middle. Probably the most technical interviews I've ever had. One person asked me to describe an LBO model and then gave various questions about what makes a good LBO candidate, how to increase FCF in the model, etc. Another asked accounting questions (if there is an asset write down, how does it flow through the statements, etc) and valuation questions, including M&A model questions. Most of everything was out of the M&I 400 question guide. Another person asked me what industry/companies I follow and asked questions about where I thought they were headed. This person talked about different products and asked what I thought the margins were on them. They asked about deal experience that I had in my IB internship, with specifics about the models that I worked on. Multiple people asked "what do you do for fun?" Everyone seemed cool. A lot of them came from NYU, Richard Ivey and Wharton. Office was surprisingly small compared to BB firms and they only have a few floors. There seemed to be a lot of camraderie. Analysts were getting called into meetings with clients when I was there. Sounds like the analysts get pretty awesome exits into hedge funds, PE, corporate dev, etc. No one looked too stressed out but I think I just caught them on a good day.
