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).

The interviewing process is extremely long as Hillhouse generally want the candidate to meet everyone in that sector team as well as related industry partners for cross checking. I had 10 rounds of interview including a 48 hour case study with presentation (Full LBO and 30 page deck). The interview questions consist of behaviroal and motivation, deal experience, accounting technical, and paper LBO. The interviewers will try to dig in details to grill you on the deal experience

Interview
They seemed to be waiting for the majority of applications to come in before they sent out interviews. Once interviews are out the process went reasonably quickly - I did 6 rounds of 1-on-1 (3 rounds each for 2 teams) in less than 2 months. Number of interviews will depend on the team (some like to chat for 1-2 more rounds) and the candidate (might get additional rounds / reallocated to other teams' processes if he/she is good but not quite cut it).

Interviews incl. advanced technicals, deal discussions, industry knowledge, stock pitch, brain teasers, etc. No extensive case study was given to my Class due to recent changes in recruiting process & timeline (previous years did have case studies).
Interview Questions
Topics around philosophy on building a business, relationship btwn investor & entrepreneur / individual & society, life aspiration, etc.
