The percentile score in the title is calculated across the entire Company Database and uses an adjusted score based on Bayesian Estimates (to account for companies that have few interview insights). Simply put, as a company gets more reviews, the confidence of a "true score" increases so it is pulled closer to its simple average and away from the average of the entire dataset.

Interview
Got to now them through an university course at my university and they seemed very sympathetic. Hence, afterwards I applied directly online as an intern position was advertised. The first round was a very relaxed phone interview. No Talk me through your CV but why PE, why exactly FSN Capital. A week after I got invited to their office and had 3 1-1 interviews. Less technical and more motivational. Short Paper LBO in the first interview. The second was more commercial (i.e. What makes a good investment). Overall, super friendly and supportive atmosphere.
Interview Questions
Nothing really difficult. As mentioned, just be prepared for a short Paper LBO. Then you should be fine on the technical side. More important is your motivation. Hence, they ask questions such as: What is your general motivation in life? Also, they want to feel that you are informed about the company and what makes them special and maybe why or why not you want to go into investment banking. Both ways are legit. The rest of the questions were quite basic, e.g. strengths/weaknesses, why this major/university.

Interview
I applied to the position and got a response roughly 3 weeks later. After that I had a short telephone screening before being invited to the office for an interview.
I had 4 one on one interviews, with an associate and 3 partners.
Everyone was very nice and the questions were not very technical, more motivational in nature.
heard back roughly 1 week later with the offer.
Interview Questions
There were no overly unexpected interview questions.
The associate gave me a case, in which I needed to calculate through a paper LBO and arrive at an IRR for a certain investment, given some assumptions.
The partners mainly asked about my past experience, why i wanted to switch into private equity and what it was that excited me about the work. Most behavioral and motivational questions have already been discussed at length in numerous posts on WSO and should serve as a good preparation, similar to most other firms.
