Symphony Technology Group - Interview

Does anyone have insight on STG's interview process, particularly the model test? I am interested in the firm and would like to be as prepared as possible. I have heard that their test is particularly difficult. Any insight on how exactly it is challenging and ways to prepare would be extremely helpful. Many thanks in advance!

Very late but for anyone that comes back to visit this thread — the model test was easier than a lot of others I took. It was three hours and you had to build a basic LBO model (not full three statement) and make a short PPT case on the model / CIM. They wanted you to be really thoughtful about your assumptions which killed a lot of my time and I didn’t finish the last portion of the case before I had to turn it in…. but I’m not a particularly insane modeler. They followed up with me with another interview so that I could explain my case and I did very well there. It wasn’t a very hostile grilling either. I ended up getting an offer.
