I applied online. I interviewed at Ares Management (New York, NY) in Aug 2019
Interview
A first round technical Interview, a second round behavioral interview. The last was an in person superday consisting of three 30 minute interviews that ranged from basic technical and behavioral questions.
3 rounds, each round 30 minutes with 2 people. 1st one is technical, 2nd is behavioral, 3rd is technical with a small LBO case. People are very nice. Next round is a week after the prior round so the process moved fast

Question 1

I interviewed at Ares Management (London, England)
Interview
Super behavioural- not that difficult, what you would expect from a first round interview. Not actually with the HR but a Dartmouth Partners person, to pre-screen. Second rounds were video interviews, more technical stuff, then superday.

Question 1
Super behavioural/ Why Ares, Walk me through your CV, Why secondaries, Which team, and why?
First round was 1 technical and 1 behavioral. Technical was heavily focused on resume and behavioral was more of a conversation about my background and how it would be a good fit for the role.
