Small firm, recruitment is "unstructured" as Ducera doesn't have an HR department. Analyst/Associates and Directors run recruitment so it is very thorough and lengthy as you meet with the majority of the team.

Be prepared for a case study.

Good, tight-knit collaborative culture. Hours are on par with EB and comp is above street, they even have a profit sharing plan on top of the annual bonus.

 
Funniest

I’m just now going through this thread. Fuck this guy man

 

Good friend of mine interviewed there. SA interview process involved three technical phone screens with analysts.

Superday was six back-to-back interviews with everyone from analysts to partners. The junior people he spoke with looked pretty burnt out--might have just been a bad week for them.

Pretty technical superday. Know your basics and basic RX debt waterfalls, etc.

I interviewed there. Be prepared for questions pertaining to M&A, restructuring, LBO's, valuation, and the overall debt and equity markets. Be prepared for everything. They will keep diving deeper into each technical question as well. I may sound like i'm being vague but they asked questions on everything.
