Lindsay Goldberg FT 27

What is the culture like? Thoughts on the firm? Is this their first year launching FT analyst recruiting and hiring people without IB/MBA experience? Any insight into the interview process? Thanks guys

Interviewed with them last year for their FT analyst program, had a great experience overall (liked all the people that I met and enjoyed the process)

 

Thanks. Any insight into interview process will be helpful - do they have a modeling test or case study type technicals ? I understand it’s a fairly new program.

 

They didn't have a modeling test, but there was a case study for one of the rounds. Technicals were fairly light (focused around the drivers of an LBO)

Uhh, it's more like a standard PE case (here's a CIM/investment opportunity, you have some time analyze it, then you discuss)

 

Have some people already had their 3rd round (HH being the 1st round)? I have my 2nd coming up.

 

No lol as I mentioned I’m considering HH as Round 1. Round 2 is 2 interviews like you said.

 

Interacted with LG a handful of times as an intern at a bank and at a secondaries fund. Very sharp folk, seems like a great program. I know Harvard would send a kid or two every once in a while.

 

HH got back to me after R1 (with LG, so after the initial HH call) and told me I’d be moving on to R2 with scheduling near end of this week. I interviewed early last week.

 

Just got 2r - in person case study for next week. Would be helpful if anyone had insight or wants to respond and I will dm
