I interviewed there last year for SA. I've lost most of my notes from the interviews but from what I remember Real Estate is by far the largest group (80-100 people iirc) while Credit and Equity are fairly similar in terms of size (maybe around 40 people each?). Smart and genuine people, some of them have been moved there after the Special Situations Group was dissolved.
In terms of interviews, the SA was rotational so I had interviews with all 3 sub-divisions. They dig deep into the deals on your CV so you need to know them down cold. They didn't really ask any classic technicals, but rather tested business awareness/acumen by asking about your deals and finding the deal rationale, strong/weak sides of the business, value levers etc. If you did a financing deal then Credit will obviously ask credit-related questions, same with Real Estate.
Other than that they put strong emphasis on fit so you will get behavioral questions as well but I've found them to be not that bad and the fit part was very conversational. I think I got a question like 30 years into the future how will you measure whether you were successful in life?
which location was this for?
London
Very useful, thanks!
Interviewed for SA this year. Had a different experience to you. Was still interviewed by people in different groups but it was not very technical compared to some of the banking interviews I did. Also as I understand it the SA program is not rotational anymore and you are attached to one team for the entire summer.
If you don't mind me asking, what sort of questions were you asked if even less non technical than the above response (which seems not technical)? I'd expect deal exp., rationale of deal, investment process to all be points of interest?
Anyone interviewed for the OC position and know if it would be similar to the SA Interview experiences described above?
"OC"? like FT?
I think OC means 'off cycle' (long term internship - which turns into FT) in this context. I've seen it been used as 'on campus' recruitment however.

Which team are you interviewing for and Analyst 1 or 2?
