I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Centrus Financial Advisors in Aug 2023
Interview
Really lovely people but poorly organised interview process and didn't feel any respect towards the candidate experience considering the time and effort I put into the process. Lack of specific feedback after I wasn't selected and felt the process was a chore for them.
1st round general Q&A and talk about CV. Also about view of sector and key investor themes. Also technical questions about IRR.
Then asked to make model and presentation on a case study to then present to seniors in the team.
Overall team mostly does a lot of pitching and not much execution on a relative basis, which means more client facing and meetings although they do still do interesting work.
Had all the seniors/leaders of the team interviewing me. Felt really comfortable and they were all lovely, made me feel really at ease. Only thing was I wasn’t used to having 4 people interviewing me, but it was honestly fine.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Centrus Financial Advisors (London, England)
Interview
First round with 2 people followed by a modelling test, then to create a ppt document then present it, so 4 rounds. Final round one team member proceeded to sit there on his phone and not listen. Slightly rude. They also pay below market and are mostly debt advisory as opposed to M&A, which was less dissapointing.
