Interview
Multiple Interview Rounds, one with recruiting team, one Superday, and a final interview with investing team. The interviews were mostly behavioral but also touched on certain technical concepts. They will reach out to you directly with each subsequent interview round. All interviews were conducted either virtually or over the phone.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at MSD Partners
Interview
Not very good; the interviewer was very dull and dry; asked few technical questions. The interviewer seemed to have already made his decision
Very few technicals as well. Mainly wanted to gauge interest and experience and end goal as well. Seemed like I didn't do a good job at that.
