I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Stone Point Capital (Greenwich, CT) in Dec 2019
Interview
Two in person first round interviews with VPs. Asked about deal experience, paper LBO, basic technicals. Followed by super day in person with 10+ team members. Some fit, mostly asking about deals, so know your numbers and your deals in and out. No modeling test

Question 1
What type of business would have positive working capital?
Walk through your deals?
Paper LBO
Standard private equity associate interview process with mix of behavioral and technical questions, several rounds of interviews with multiple people and a model test followed by an in person super day
Lots of conversations with investment team, with interviewers ranging from analysts to IC members. Overall, each interview varied in terms of behavioral or technical, but skewed from behavioral compared to other PE firms.

Question 1
Someone will likely ask for a paper LBO and "why PE?"
