Group Interview
Interview
Video interview, first round was an online HireVue with prerecorded questions, second round was a 2 on 1 interview.
Interview Questions
Most difficult question was likely asking for exact multiples of a range of comps I did for a pitch --> it was quite a while ago so difficult to remember exactly. Also exact revenue walkdown and how I thought about modelling the company. All in all, not that hard. But really granular and needed to know your stuff to stand a chance. Be prepared to know everything and more about your pitch --> can't go into it expecting to just high-level walk through. The question itself was not difficult, it was the level of granularity.
