For analyst (not summer): 1. Advisory (RX): took 2 if i remember correctly. 3-4 rounds in total including face to face and numerical test. Met almost 15 people, superday with vp, MD and SMD (4 -5 in total i don't remember). Mostly technical. Only 1 chilled conversation with a SMD. Not sure about M&A - assume similar. 2. RE debt: They interviewed with...maybe >100 kids (I mean a lot). 3 rounds with phone interview, math test, office interview, modeling test, and investment cases presentation. Pretty intense. 10-15 ppl in total, with 4-5 in superday. Questions are mainly about valuation and general market questions. Hired 1. 3. PE: company presentation following by drink reception first, 4 rounds similar as above. Only math test and no modeling test (only paper LBO but it doesn't count). superday with 3-4 ppl, similar to banking but with LBO questions and a lot of brain-teasers. After that 2 ppl got selected to final round - 2 SMD, mainly about investment thoughts (where to invest and general discussion etc). Took 1 that round. But hired 2 in total for that cycle.
