I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at TPG (Chicago, IL) in June 2026
Interview
Coffee chat with two AVPs (behavioral)
Case study with 2 page write up
Final round onsite (4 interviews with 2 people each).
Additional 30 minute virtual interview.
Everything is very standard and all interviewers are personable. Nobody tries to mess with you or stress test throughout then process. The trickiest part is in during the final round, a more technical interview with market sizing, brainteaser type questions, including identifying 3 companies by industry based on balance sheets. Everything else is behavioral.
