Had a final round there within the past few years. Really intense group of people, all really sharp. Seems like the younger people there are worked pretty hard but there's lots of opportunity to rise quickly. Everyone sits trading-floor style, pretty sure MDs sit out on the floor, too.
I interviewed with them for SA2020.
Total involved 6 rounds of phone interview + 8 rounds of superday interviews.
Having interviewed with other RX EBs they had the toughest technicals I have ever seen. Focus really is on whether you are passionate about RX or not. There was legit a case study I received in a phone round that involved structural subordination so complex a first-year RX analyst at another EB had to spend 10 minutes walking through it with me to get the answers himself.
They are upfront about the fact that they work a lot but it seems the analysts do enjoy what they are doing; a first-year analyst literally spent 20 minutes walking me through a deal where he took on the role of a conventional associate/VP and he couldn't sound happier while describing it to me.
Have seen a lot of flac on these guys on these boards for being a sweatshop; while I haven't worked there, judging by the interactions I have had, they are very upfront about the fact that they work heavy and want to hire people who are down for it. So don't really think anything is misrepresented in any way.
