I applied in-person. I interviewed at KKR (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
The interview process with KKR was disappointing. I found the interviewers to be quite condescending throughout our conversation, which created an unwelcoming atmosphere. Furthermore, the team was not respectful of my time regarding scheduling and punctuality. I expected a higher level of professionalism.
5 interviews total;
Stage 1 HR
Stage 2 three group interviews with various levels of staff
Stage 3 direct manager/leader
Stage 4 (if needed) direct manager/director
Overall was a very thorough interview process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Fund accounting case study; testing knowledge of fund accounting, performance, waterfalls, etc.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KKR (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
Process lasted about 4 weeks, first interview was 2 hours and consisted of 6 interviews with various staff levels, associate up to partner level. All questions were standard interview questions "why this role?", "why are you leaving your current role?", "tell us about your experience". The 2nd interview consisted of a fund accounting case study, nothing too complex if working in the industry.
