Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
The interview process spanned several weeks and involved multiple rounds, making it quite time-consuming. It kicked off with initial phone screenings where they delved into my deal experience and gauged my interest in Riverside. Following these two phone screens, I had to complete some online personality tests. Then, I was presented with a pitchbook from a past deal and tasked with developing a detailed LBO model and an investment thesis write-up within a few days. Subsequently, I had a phone presentation with a VP, during which we discussed my assumptions. After this, I didn't hear back from the firm, which was a bit of a letdown considering the effort put into the investment recommendation and the online tests.
Confirmed questions1 question
- The lengthy personality tests were unexpected, and there was no follow-up explaining the outcomes or insights from them.

Technical Behavioral Case Presentation
The interview process was quite thorough and seemed to be a good fit for the role. It started with a technical screen, followed by several fit interviews. Then, there was a case study, and finally, a virtual superday where I met with the senior leaders. Everyone involved was professional and genuinely seemed interested in learning about me and evaluating my fit for the company.
