Behavioral Technical Case
This was a 3 round interview process for a lateral hire. It included a behavioral interview, a technical interview, and then a superday at their office. The behavioral and technical interviews were each 30 minutes long. The superday was 2 hours and focused on deal experience.

Technical Behavioral
This was a 2-round interview process. The first round was with an Associate, and the second round was with an Executive Director and Managing Director. Both rounds included a mix of technical and behavioral questions. The interviewers seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me better, rather than just asking the typical 400 investment banking questions.

Technical Behavioral Case Group
The first round involved two analysts, each for 30 minutes, covering technical and behavioral aspects. Technical topics included DCF, precedent transactions, LBOs, and multiples. There were also a couple of paper LBO questions. Behaviorally, they asked about sector knowledge. The final round had three parts: an interview with a senior banker, an individual case study, and a group interview (which wasn't finance-related).

Technical Behavioral
I networked with an MD and VP and got referrals. Applied online and was sent standard numerical and verbal tests which I completed the same day. Got an interview a few weeks later. The interview process had two parts: a Technical interview with an Associate and a General interview with the VP I networked with. The Technical interview was a mix of motivational and technical questions; we walked through a DCF valuation. The VP interview was very relaxed as we'd spoken before, and we discussed next steps. I didn't hear back from anyone after that, and after chasing HR for a month, I was rejected without feedback.
