Interview
You initially apply on their website and can only apply to sourcing or the investment team.
About a week later, you receive and have to do a sparkhire/hirevue like video interview. Kind of like a typical PE or IB hirevue or sparkhire. They ask basic questions like why Growth Equity, why PSG, a portfolio company you were interested in of theirs and why? and some other basic behavioral "fit-like" questions.
About 2-3 weeks later (approx. 1 month) you should hear back from HR regarding doing an assignment for your final round interview. You do the assignment, send it back to them and then have your superday. You have like 3-4 interviews for your superday and then just answer basic behaviorals.
Interview Questions

Interview
I spoke with a Senior Vice President when they visited our campus, which put me through an earlier interview process towards the end of Summer 2024.

I was sent a HireVue equivalent, which asked questions like TMAY, Why PSG, what is a portfolio company I find interesting, etc. There may have also been some broader behavioral questions.

A few weeks later, I got put through an interview. 60 minutes, where I spoke with an Associate and a VP. The questions were easy and were more behavioral in nature. There were no technical questions asked. There were some situational questions.

I got a call back after the regular process had finished (about 1.5 months later).
Interview Questions
Tell me about a time where you had to work in a team where you did not get along with another team member?

There were not many extremely difficult interview questions provided that you are comfortable with behavioral and "tell me about a time" questions.

Process began with a fit interview with the head of HR then had a 2-hour modeling test followed my a debrief then a third round 1-on-1. After that, had a superday with six 30 to 45 minute interviews. Advice is to be sharp on modeling and solid understanding of the deals you've been on from an investors perspective.
