Contacted early on by VP. This led to a phone interview followed by a writing test paired with a modelling test.
Interview Questions
The most difficult part of the interview was by far the writing test. The test required me to relate the firms values to those of my life, and given only sixty minutes it was quite challenging. It was not like the actual content was hard, its just i couldnt be fucked to write any essay using all those values and my life in such a short time. The modelling part was quite easy and never offered any sort of challenge. The most difficult part of the writing was the time limit and the inability to prep.

Interview
Networked with the firm and that got me into the interview process. Initial step was a 1 hour written essay on values. Next step was a 1 hour basic modeling test. Finally, a superday of 4 30-minute rounds followed by lunch with analysts.
Interview Questions
I was asked more detailed questions regarding a discounted cash flow analysis such as whether the terminal value or projected period had a greater impact on valuation. Was also asked how lengthening the days outstanding terms on accounts payable would impact a DCF. Lots of questions centered on a DCF and the concept of free cash flow. Other than that, it was the expected accounting questions regarding the three statements and how they link together. Also had the expected personality questions such as why banking/why this firm.
