Please describe the interview / hiring process.

*Note: This is for Blackstone Credit.

Interview format:
Phone Screen - Sr. Associate Interviewer (Questions covered deal experience / interest in the position)
Group Interview - SVP Interviewer (Fit questions / interest in the group - had interned at a similar strategy pre-banking which is what likely set me apart)

Next Day:
Model Test - Remote Proctor (1-Hr LBO Test; Simple Assumptions / Drivers / WSO Test is adequate prep)
Case Study - Given a CIM and a time to meet in-person
Immediately After:
Case Study Debrief - Sr. Associate / Associate / SVP Interviewer (Questions designed to rip holes in my analysis - could not respond in a convincing manner)

*End of Interview
