Behavioral Technical
The interviewer seemed distracted and was eating during my interview. They also turned off their camera without notice and were quite condescending and derogatory. I got to the second round, which was a monitored Zoom assessment, but I withdrew from the process.

Behavioral Case Technical
Thought the first interview would be just behavioral, definitely was not. It involved a verbal case including accounting and a situation of a business in bankruptcy. You would definitely need to be sound on all things accounting, as it's pretty necessary to know. And generally be ready to think like a business person. Liked the two MDs who interviewed me.

- Can you define working capital?
- Could you answer some other accounting-related questions?

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
This role has a two-round interview process. The first round is a 2-on-1 behavioral interview, with no case study involved. However, if you've listed yourself as a finance major, be prepared for potential technical questions about cash flows and financial statements. Following the first round, successful candidates will move on to a Super Day, which involves four 45-minute interviews. Before this Super Day, you'll be given an Excel case study to complete and submit.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Could you list the main components of an income statement?
