Question 1
Would you invest in this company? Why Cevian? Tell me about yourself
I applied online. I interviewed at Cevian Capital (Zürich)
Interview
First round was with a member in the investment team. Involved personal fit, motivation, a case. Relatively relaxed format. Did not go into detail on any specific Cevian investment, more about the overall strategy. The interview was conducted online.
