Then onsite interview consist of dinner the night before and a whole day of interview the following day. People are generally really nice and come off as smart. They will probe you to gauge your intellectual power, which means a lot of brain teasers and "think through this with me". The planning of logistics was great as well. I had an exploding offer elsewhere and they definitely tried to accomodate my time table.

A series of questions related to how to value a deal. Basically to gauge how you think about investments.
A brainteaser related to Monte Hall. Dont remember the question specifically but all Monte Hall questions are kind of the same anyway. Certainly didnt expect it for my role though.
