Houlihan Lokey ADG in DC? (CorpFin=IB)

After searching thoroughly on this site and a few online sources i'm finding information to be scarce.

I have an interview with their ADG group based out of the DC area for a Summer Financial Analyst role (SA19) and was hoping to learn some more.

Does anyone know anything specific about this group? Ex: Culture, Deals, Things to Know/Avoid/Work Towards/etc. From their website:

Corporate Finance

Houlihan Lokey has extensive expertise in mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, activist shareholder and takeover defense, and other related advisory services for a broad range of U.S. and international clients. Our experience in M&A has earned us consistent recognition throughout the industry. In 2017, we were ranked the No. 1 M&A advisor for all U.S. transactions.

Just looking to learn some more, the group seems really interesting.

Have not taken this test exactly, but did a similar test before interview situation at strong MM IB. I would say if you are up on your p's and q's on both subjects, you should be fine.

Good Luck
