It was okay, but technical. Video interview was a bit difficult as they only gave 30 seconds to prepare and 1.30 mins to answer. I was asked 7 questions out of which 5 were competency based and two were motivational.

Tell me about a time that you have had to manage multiple conflicting deadlines and how did you go about it?

Found it fun and upbeat. Fit and commercial awareness focused, particularly found that you needed to understand the basic mechanics of M&A/PE. A high level understanding of how deals are structured and why is important.
