Honestly the interview wasn't the hardest but building out the deck was. Only hard question that was asked was a random brain teaser that the interviewer just pulled out of thin air

Interview
While most other interns had to interview in a group setting, I ended up interviewing with a director 1-1 because of timing issues. Super casual and laid back and didn't ask any technical questions. Seemed more like a casual conversation.
Interview Questions
Overall, the interview didn't ask any technical questions. The most difficult question was "Why are you interested in working for us?" and "why are you interested in working investment banking?". He also asked, "what do you know about our firm and our overall mission/differentiating characteristic?" Otherwise, the interviewer focused a lot on my resume and past experience. You should be prepared to talk about your past experiences and resume in depth because that will drive the majority of the conversation.

Interview
Basically started off with a phone interview, then was invited over for a superday. Entire process was really straight forward.
Interview Questions
None of the interview questions were too difficult. Process wasn't that technical because they understand that you are still a college student and thus won't have as much experience in the field. Entire process was majority fit questions. It was easy to make a connection with the interviewer as people were generally very nice and down to earth. Nothing else was too hard. The one thing that you have to know or understand would be the industry that the firm covers as it is relatively niche and specific.

Interview
Was relatively standard. Networked beforehand and had a phone screen before getting invited for an in person interview.
Interview Questions
There wasn't really anything that technical. Were some small technical questions regarding the standard methods to valuate a company such as the DCF, public comps method, and precedent transactions. Asked a bit of accounting questions such as the standard interview question what would happen to the financial statements if depreciation increased by 10. Really nothing super technical and was trying to gauge fit more than anything else. Asked a couple weird brain teasers out of the blue. Was a relatively quick interview.

Applied online and someone reached out to me to talk with me about a potential opportunity. Went in for the interview
Interview Questions
Asked a pretty wide range of questions. Asked normal questions such as how to walk thorugh a dcf, what happens when depreciation decreases by 10 dollars, so forth. Also asked more behavorial questions such as the lines in ur resume and situations where u failed and so forth. Overall the interview was just very behavoiral, and focused on who you are as a person. Asked a lot of typical questions and to be honest none of them really standed out. Study hard for your regular interviews and you should be fine.

Interview
The hiring process took about less than a month. It was for a summer analyst position with a small boutique bank
Interview Questions
The most difficult part of the interview when asked more in-depth questions about valuation methodologies and which will result in the highest valuation. You really have to know the different valuation techniques such as precendent transaction (this is the first answer btw), Discounted cash flow, market comps, and market valuation. The highest valuation will normally come from the Precedent Transaction technique, because a company will pay a premium for the projected synergies coming from the merger.
