The interview discussed a fund model that I was asked to complete prior to the interview, along with a benchmarking exercise. One of the interviewers walked out halfway during the interview. The interview was hostile and any questions were met with a cold and uninformative answer.

Was disinterested throughout and rushed off halfway through the interview despite the allotted 1 hour time.
