Based on the most helpful WSO content, while there isn't specific information about the exact case study for Apollo's strategic finance team, insights from other Apollo-related interviews suggest you should prepare for a highly technical and rigorous process. For example:
Technical Questions: Expect a mix of basic and advanced accounting, financial modeling, and investment banking-style questions. Brush up on your financial statement modeling, DCF, M&A, and LBO concepts.
Case Study Approach: Apollo has been known to incorporate real-world scenarios into their interviews. For instance, one candidate mentioned being asked to analyze a scenario based on their favorite NFL team, which involved estimating stadium seats, revenue impacts, and potential strategies to stabilize income. This suggests you should be ready for creative, consultant-like problem-solving.
Mental Math and Brain Teasers: Be prepared for quick calculations and logic-based questions. Apollo values candidates who can think on their feet.
Time Management: The goal often seems to be answering as many technical questions as possible within a limited time. Practice working efficiently under pressure.
Preparation Resources: Reviewing investment banking and private equity interview guides, as well as brushing up on transaction comps and bond yield math, could be beneficial.
If you have access to WSO's financial modeling resources or interview bootcamps, those could be excellent tools to refine your skills before the case study. Good luck!
