The interview process was horrible, I don’t recommend it. They asked personal questions, were very rude. I don’t want to be part of such a company. I am happier at a different job that pays me way more!

We started with a skills assessment. Then there was a first round with a VP and an analyst, followed by a second round with an MD and an analyst. They were all behavioral, trying to understand your interest in PE. The only technical thing they might ask about is why enterprise software is a good investment.

It was a basic phone screen with an associate, and then a subsequent interview. I only completed the 15-minute phone screen via MS Teams. They didn't ask many technical questions, focusing more on getting to know the interviewer and asking basic financial questions. It's important to be aware of their previous deals.
