How would you compare an offer here to a BB? Looks like their associates come from pretty solid groups

 

I went through their process in recent years and I thought I would share my experience so that others might be able to prepare accordingly.

My first round was fairly straightforward, around 30/40 min conversation mostly technicals but around industrials. A very quick paper LBO, and they really asked me a lot about industrials, my interest in that vertical, how does valuation change, why does it make an attractive PE target (predictable revenue, lot of asset for collateral, decent barrier to entry given infrastructure...)

My superday consisted in 3 interviews with associates and VPs. Very insightful conversations, the bar here was definitely higher. They asked about the deals I have had in my resume in depth, asking details about the valuation, the whole process, how my firm was deciding between bids ecc. Some questions to prepare are on the rx side, I think they hire a few RX bankers, and even their interviews reflect this trend. I was asked about what makes a distressed business a good investment, how to value it, how does a DCF of a distressed company look and similar questions. Finally make sure to study in depth their portfolio, I was asked about a company I liked and one I disliked and why is that. 

Won't go into detail about offer received/accepted but overall I have had a great experience interviewing with them, they all seemed very nice and passionate. 

 

Thanks for this write-up, how would you compare an offer here to a BB IB program?

 

I think the two are very different offer. I’d honestly take the BB offer and go to Stellex as an associate so you still have the BB brand name on the resume that gives you more optionality
