I interviewed with them 5 years ago. For context I'm now an analyst at a much larger, much more credible fund and had IB / PE experience at the time. The principle seemed like a weird dude to me. He asked me an accounting technical question that I still remember to this day, something like "which company would have higher working capital between an airline, a manufacturer, a retailer, etc." that just seemed like he was trying to prove he was clever to me. If he was trying to make sure I knew accounting, maybe the accounting major on my resume could have been better proof. Having said that, he also took 30 seconds to type an actual rejection email which probably puts him in at least the 80th percentile of EQ for this industry.
