Credit Suisse ghosted me after recruiting me to schedule an interview. Despite multiple follow ups, I never heard back from the recruiter. I suppose Credit Suisse discontinued the role. I found them to be unprofessional.

Technical Behavioral

It was a classic interview process. They asked me to run through a DCF, with some questions about a standard company (bottling and logistics) and then a chocolate company. Another interview covered LBOs, focusing more on the components rather than doing a full one in the room. Fit and culture were important, but you really need to know your financial models and valuation techniques.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

It was a virtual superday with the whole team and the equity research team. It included behavioral questions and market discussions. Everyone was nice, but it felt like some questions were asked more than once. The program wasn't as structured as other S&T programs.
