Phone Interview
1 on 1 Interview
Interview
I was referred by an employee at the firm. The employee forwarded my resume to Executive Vice President and scheduled to have a phone interview. Phone interview was very short and simple. We only went through my resume for about 5 minutes. After that I was invited for 1 on 1 interview with the executive vice president. He explained what the firm does and the investment banking division focused on. He asked some technical questions such as definitions of IRR, EV, and standard deviation. Interview process was very short. It only took about a week and I gladly accepted an offer.
Interview Questions
Nothing much. Interviewer was very friendly and I basically told him about who I am and what I can contribute to the firm and division. He asked definitions of IRR, EV and standard deviation.

Phone Interview
Interview
StoneCastle posted a listing on a shared school recruitment board, which I responded to and then received an offer to interview for. The phone call happened around a month after the posting, because management needed to make sure they had enough room for summer interns. The interview was decently behavioral, with some questions about statistics and math. There were not many valuation and accounting questions, and my interviewer took care to match my questions with things that I would have known from prior experience or my coursework. He also gave me one IRR question, but helped me walk through it when I expressed some confusion. He really showed that he was interested in my learning experience.
