Interview
First round consisted of a two-on-one interview. This was mainly about fit, gauging interest and knowledge of the firm/responsibilities of the role. Pretty standard. Then there was a Superday consisting of four 30 min one-on-one sessions. Each session covered an excel model, case study, technical questions, and behavioral/fit questions separately. Each with a different member of the team, including MD. Afterwards there was a short happy hour with the other candidates and team.
Interview Questions
Walk me through a LBO transaction. Give a high level overview of the process and steps.
The case study was slightly unexpected. It was more of a conversation about the company, market position, revenue and economic drivers than a problem seeking solutions or recommendations. It was a company they were sell-side adviser for but didn't work out for reasons having to do with the CEO/owner.
Some of the technical questions about how certain changes to line items affect and flow through the three statements.

First round(s) consisted of two phone interviews. Superday consisted of four interviews with each being with a person from each position level: Analyst, Associate, Vice President, and Managing Director. Mostly behavorial but definitely had a few technical aspects.

I got the impression that you would get a very comprehensive experience of how middle market transactions are executed. Deal flow seems strong.
