I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Kroll (London, England) in Mar 2021
Interview
- First Round Interview: 30-minutes with a Director and 30-minutes with a VP. Both technical interviews where I had to answer questions on valuing both debt and equity (walk me through a DCF, Discount rate for a bond, valuing cryptocurrency etc.)
- Second Round Interview: VP and MD interviews. VP Interview was a short case study on how to value a small shop (use DCF as there is no clear comparables based on size). MD interview was a fit/ airport test to ascertain whether I would be a good fit for the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through a DCF?
What goes into the discount rate of a bond?
How do you value a debt instrument?
What did you like and not like about your previous roles?
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.
