Technical
The interviewer seemed uninterested. The technical questions were fair and direct. The firm runs an efficient process, not really focused on networking or casual chats. There were three rounds in total.

Technical Behavioral
So the interview stuff had both technical and behavioral parts. For the technical side, they asked about DCF, accounting, dilution/accretion, LBO, and other random things like Beta and Cost of Debt. The behavioral interview was pretty standard, asking "what if" or "tell me a time when" type questions.
