Marathon Capital is a terrible bank

For context, I went to a HYPSM and now work at a top power/infra private equity platform (and received offers from several). When I was recruiting, I got rejected from Marathon's internship process (bunch of jokesters from random schools) after having a seemingly perfect interview process? Case study and then superday where I was grilled on technicals for an hour, market trends for an hour, and behaviorals/qualitative for an hour.

Now on the buyside, they are just incompetent to work with. It seems like they don't know their own models? They don't understand any of the questions we ask them as well or how to respond. Their internship process was way too extensive for them to be acting like this imo.
