I applied online. I interviewed at KKR (New York, NY)
Interview
Multiple zoom rounds followed by 2 rounds of case studies—one written and one excel. Meet everyone on this particular team. Written case and excel case were an hour each and were non-proctored.
First round Behavorial followed by timed case study followed by one on one behavioral loop with other members of the team to gauge interest in the role. Process is pretty efficient
