Behavioral Technical Coding
The first interview was pretty short, just about 30 minutes. We talked about my background, my education, and what I'm interested in. It was a pretty relaxed chat. Then, there was a second interview that was much longer, about 2.5 hours total. This one was with a panel, and it was broken down into three separate rounds. In each round, two people interviewed me, and they asked about my technical abilities and my experience with coding.

Technical Behavioral
I found the job online and had a phone call with a hiring manager or recruiter. We talked about the company vibe, the kind of person they're looking for, and how the interviews would go. The recruiter was super helpful and seemed really into working at Summit. It was a really good and professional chat. Then, I went in for three interviews with people in the Financial Modeling part of the company. Everyone was pretty chill and easy to talk to, but they still asked real job-related questions. The questions weren't too much about past behavior, and they felt relevant to the actual work. They seem to want someone with a consulting focus but also an analytical background. It was obvious they like their jobs and the office itself felt like a startup, with a cool retro/modern feel, a pool table, and a beer fridge.

Behavioral Technical
It was a really nice interview process. The recruiter was super friendly and helpful. First, there was a phone interview with the recruiter, mostly covering behavioral questions and my resume. Then, I had an in-person interview where I met three different sets of two people. They asked a mix of behavioral and technical questions. Make sure you know your resume inside out and can explain the reasoning behind your analytical choices. Everyone was really friendly throughout.
