I applied online. I interviewed at Kroll (Palo Alto, CA) in May 2021
Interview
Interview process wasn't too difficult. First round was a typical phone screen. The next round I met with a variety of management and they dug into more thorough finance questions. Also some brain teasers to see if you can think creatively.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why is a man hole round? What is the angle between the two clock hands when the time is 3:15? Typical DCF and other cash flow questions.
First round interview was virtual. Was shown interview questions prior to recording my answers, and had unlimited time to prepare before answering. There were quite a few question, though I was able to take as much time as needed to prepare.
Overall average interview including dcf and other valuation approaches focus including precedents and market multiples , overall capital markets knowledge might also be useful including knowledge about what kroll does
Multiple rounds, first phone interview. Then flown into office where we did interviews with some of the team members, then a case study with other interviewees and presented to the team and had lunch after. Later received a phone call.
