thirty minute interview with a Principal on the team. A mix of behavioral and technical questions asked. Pretty typical. Spent some time on the resume and also some basic quesitons like why do you want to work in private equity

Why PE? Why Platinum? Pick a deal that you spent the most time on.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Platinum Equity (New York, NY) in Nov 2025

Started with recruiter screen. Learn the company and role. Then connected to company for additional screens (first HR, then former VPT). Next is an in person superday and meeting key team members.

Question 1
Have you done PMO work? What are example initiatives you have driven?
The process was fairly straight forward - 3 phone interviews and 1 in person interview (incl. case study). The case study was a bit heavier / time consuming than expected.
