      Finance Interview

      Sep 10, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Chicago, IL
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis (Chicago, IL) in May 2015

      Interview

      Interview process was easy to average - no tough questions, mainly behavioral and job-related questions. My only complaint is I had to come back over multiple days (which meant more time off my current job) because everyone I met with was not available on my originally scheduled interview date because of scheduling conflicts. Instead of rescheduling my interview, I had to come back the following week for another half day of meetings. Since I did this all through a recruiter, I'm not sure how much of this scheduling issue was because of the recruiter vs. the company itself.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Standard behavioral questions - tell me about a time when...(you had a disagreement with one of your peers, you had a conflict with your manager, you had to meet a tight deadline, etc).
