Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know:
Stonepeak Interview Process: The process typically involves a basic LBO model test. This aligns with the standard private equity interview format, focusing on fundamental financial modeling skills.
GIP Interview Process: GIP's interview process is more infrastructure-specific. It includes a case study or model test tailored to infrastructure investments. For example, one candidate mentioned a paper LBO exercise during a super day, where information was provided incrementally, and they had to calculate returns manually without a calculator. Additionally, interviews often dive deep into deal experience, with detailed questions about companies, business models, commodity risks, and contract structures.
Both firms emphasize technical skills and industry-specific knowledge, so preparation should focus on these areas.
