I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kroll in Feb 2015
Interview
Applied in mid January, heard back about a phone screening early February. Phone interview was more of a conversation and quick questions about why did I choose my school and what led me to valuations. Heard back a week later to interview on site. On site was 3 interviews with directors/MD's. Got to talk to 2 analysts beforehand about how the interviewers are and any quick questions before we went in. First two were more conversations and telling about yourself/conversation. Typical questions about your experiences.
Last interview was technical, classic basic valuations interview questions. Walk me through a DCF, effect of purchasing a truck on the 3 statements.
Heard back exactly a week later with an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through a DCF.
How would buying a truck on Jan 1 effect all 3 statements?
If a company presents large growth assumptions how can you adjust value without touching proj. FCF?
How many years do you project FCF before using terminal value? Why?
If I project 3% growth permanently for terminal value, is that reasonable? Why/why not?
typical behavioral questions followed by some technical questions. be prepared to talk about relevant coursework and projects. you get a chance to ask interviewer questions at the end of the interview. interviewers were cordial!
