There are a few threads about them on here, but I was hoping someone might have some insight into the SA program/recruiting. I'll be interviewing with them next week.
The company database suggests mainly fit questions with technicals being more brain teaser/logic types and not necessarily financial technicals. Does anyone have any other advice or experience with this firm? Obviously very competitive and only 10-15 SA spots/year.

did you only apply online or ocr? when did they email you about the interview?
I applied online and received notification about an interview yesterday
Supposedly the SA program is relatively new. And a lot of responsibility. Thats what they said in the info session. But not sure about interviews.
Whats your GPA range btw? Heard Centerview has a high cutoff.
I have around a 3.75 or so. Thanks for the insight. Anyone else know anything- I haven't been to one of their info sessions and don't know much beyond what I can learn online/on their site.
Is Centerview the one that makes analysts stay for 3 years?
They pay well above street, and a couple of their analysts (at least 2 out of a class of 15-20) just left for HBS 2+2. Their higher ups have really, really good connections.
I can confirm this; have a couple of connections there.
Really great place and as mentioned above, lots of responsibility as an SA, considering how new the SA program is (only a few years, I believe).
I didn't get brainteasers when I interviewed; lots of your typical accounting technicals and then some difficult fit questions.
Great shop; excellent pay. They poached some Miller Buckfire guys on the restructuring side, so they're expanding that practice as well. That said, word on the Street is that Centerview is one of those boutiques that hates it when their bankers leave after the analyst program, as opposed to a place like Moelis where the MDs practically push their analysts out the door.

True, they definitely want to breed bankers.
They also have an internal PE fund, so why leave if you want to do IB --> PE? Haha.
So basically what Jay said is on point. Centerview is a great place for experience. Only know a few guys who have worked there so here's the basics.
Never interviewed there so not going to go down the path of misinformation.
Good luck.
Their first round did have brainteasers and also had a mini case.
JustADude what was the mini case like?
Also curious- and was this during a 1st round or super day?
Centerview superday (Originally Posted: 10/14/2012)
Anyone hear back yet?
My year they let accepted interviewees know the next day, so you might be SOL...
Well it ended on a Saturday
Well it's Monday. Did you hear back?
Centerview Partners 1st Round (Originally Posted: 01/22/2012)
To anyone who has done a first round with Centerview, what kind of fit/technical questions should I expect?
would like to know as well have an interview coming up
Centerview Non-target superday (Originally Posted: 01/27/2015)
Centerview is having a superday on February 7th for non-target kids. I had a first round this week over Skype. Has anyone been invited yet?
The guy I interviewed with for the SF office didn't know when the superday would be. Is Feb 7th the date for New York?
Yeah, Feb 7th is the NY date
@"Abhi7" Did you receive an invitation?
Haven't heard back yet. I was wondering if anyone here has?
haven't heard back yet either.
When did you interview?
Since my contact said the SF superday is being coordinated to happen simultaneously with NY, I'll add my voice to the topic: Haven't heard yet.
Yeah I guess that''s a good thing. Unless none of us got it :O lol
Have you guys heard anything?
I haven't heard back yet either. Anyone else?
I haven't heard back yet either. Anyone else?
Heard back from NY. Anyone else have any knowledge about the superday?
@wigglewiggle You already heard back and got the superday?
Did anyone else hear back yet?
I have heard nothing at all, which is weird considering my relationship with some of the people there. I also had a couple people message me and ask for interview tips as they had first rounds with Centerview coming up this week. So, maybe they are trying to fill spots for superday right now? My contact originally said they would just be having one small superday, though that may just be for SF and not for NY.
Yeah, I know for sure that NY superday is on Saturday with dinner on Friday. So I guess if we don't hear back by tomorrow then we should move on.
I had my first round last Fri and heard back Monday with a superday invite, but I'm also a target school so I don't know if that matters
anyone from target hear back about offers yet?
Not yet, but my interviews also didn't go well
Have they gotten back to people yet?
Have interviews will Centerview in the coming weeks. Wonder if someone can show me some hard technical questions they got asked. Thank you!
Upcoming SA Centerview Partners 1st round interview (Originally Posted: 01/18/2012)
I was wondering if anyone on this site interviewed with Centerview last year for their summer analyst class? I have an upcoming interviewing and wanted to get some information. Considering they run lean and this is their 2nd summer analyst class what should I expect? They are giving me a webcam interview (never had one before).
Also any idea on how many summer analysts they bring on?
I just had an informational interview with a 3rd year analyst there tonight. I don't know what to expect in terms of an interview, but he said they're only hiring about 10 SA's this summer (same number as last year's FT class) and they're looking to hire all of them full-time following their summer stint. I'd love to know what the interview is like. Can you post your experience afterwards?

Anyone hear back from Centerview's superday on Saturday?
I have a friend who accepted an offer.
is this for summer analyst?
How many offers did they extend for this summer?

Hi guys, was this OCR for NY?
I know this is an old post but just wanted to see if anyone else can shed a bit of light on what their superday entails
Centerview 1st Rounds (Originally Posted: 01/30/2013)
Has anyone had an interview with them yet? I've heard that it is mostly fit with some light technicals mixed in, and then a couple math/brainteaser questions. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I have one coming up next week.
Also, does anyone know how big their summer class will be this year?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
Yea more like 30 minutes fit and 30 minutes pure technicals (1 interviewer for each section). I'd heard it was mostly fit as well, but it was easily the most technical of all the boutiques I interviewed with. SA class will be 10-12. Pretty sure they are done with 1st rounds (maybe still OCR)
Hey, thanks for the quick response! For the technicals, would you say it went beyond the WSO/M&I guide, or it's the standard stuff you'd get from most 1st rounds? I've heard both, so I was wondering what your experience was.
M&I guide should be fine, but some of the stuff is a bit more application or from the advanced sections. There is also a brain teaser/mental math section that you can't really prepare much for, you are either good at that stuff or you aren't. They will ask you a question like 'how does 10 depreciation flow through 3 statements' and then keep digging deeper and deeper with more advanced concepts until your knowledge breaks down- which it will. At this point just give it your best shot and then say you're not sure/ask the interviewer to explain it.
Depends, what division/position?
you have first rounds this late?? and what black jack said..exactly
Anyone heard back from Centerview on Saturday? (Originally Posted: 02/09/2015)
I was at the superday for Centerview this weekend and was just wondering if anyone has heard back yet.
Never heard anything so I emailed them and got a rejection that way. Thinking they already made accepted calls and have no immediate plans to update rejects
I know somebody who attended the Saturday superday and he heard back later that day.
