Cinven Interview

Hey guys, 

I have been invited for the Cinven final stage interviews and would be super grateful to any tipps on how to prepare best for the 1h case study. 

If someone has been through the process and would like to exchange some tipps, that would be great! 

I have an M&A background, yet not too experienced with PE interviews, thus every insight would be helpful. 

Happy to hear back from you!
