Phone Interview
Interview
One initial phone screen, followed by three back-to-back phone interviews with the MD, the COO, and an analyst.
Interview Questions
No truly unexpected questions were asked. Most questions asked were fairly basic--for example, the interview with the COO was entirely behavioral and framed much more like a conversation than a question-and-answer format. The other two interviews were fairly regular, except for the fact that there were no technicals. Instead, they generally asked about experiences with excel and powerpoint and such. Other standard questions like "why banking," "why Landmark Ventures," and "tell me about a leadership experience" abound.

Interview
Interviewed with Landmark Venture for business development intern in their New York office. Great experience.
Interview Questions
not much since many of the questions were fit based rather than skills, and generally the interviewers were nice and trying to have a conversation with you instead of asking difficult questions. But know the company history well since they will ask what do you know about us and why do you want to work for landmark venture. There maybe some brain teaser but i cant remember for sure since its a while ago. on the first day they welcome you with a little wool blanket and make like you are welcomed.

Interview
I applied for the position through my university's career site. There was an initial phone interview focused on describing the firm and asking my interest in the position as well as overall background. This was mostly behavioral.

Afterwards, I was invited for an in-person meeting with a senior associate. It was a generally pleasant experience though there were technicals centering around financial statements, the M&A process, and macro-level questions too. I kept my cool and did the best I could with the questions and was invited approximately 3 days later for another in-person with a managing director. This second interview was less focused on the usual financial concepts and more towards my thought process. We went over a question related to present value and some of its real-world applications. The rest of the conversation spoke to my background, interest in the firm, and usual behaviorals. I managed to do decently well and was invited for a third and final interview with another managing director.

The last interview was quite interesting and we talked generally about the tech industry and certain niche opportunities in the space. I have a specific interest in the sector and it was interesting to really hear about some of the deals they cover.
Interview Questions
General financial statement questions (what are the main 3), asked to walk through a DCF, how do you arrive at FCF for the model.
Spoke to the LBO process, differences between strategic and financial buyer. What makes a takeover target attractive.
