Centerview Partners Analyst Interview Process 2026
Sharing my interview experience to help anyone trying to get into centerview for summer 2027.
Recruiter call (20 min) :C hecks that you understand how small the analyst class actually is and whether you have other processes running. She asked directly which other firms I was talking to (my biggest tip is to just answer honestly, doesn't really impact their decisions anyway).
First round (2 x 30 min, associates): Back to back, lighter on technicals than expected. Resume walk, why Centerview and not a bulge bracket, then a long conversation about a live deal I had been following. The associate kept asking why the buyer was paying that premium rather than whether I could compute it.
Second round (45 min, VP): Where it gets hard. He gave me a company and asked me to think out loud through how I would size the debt, then walked me from that into a paper LBO. Follow up was what happens to returns if the exit multiple compresses by a full turn. I fumbled that for thirty seconds before recovering.
Final round (3 x 30 min, MDs): All fit, all separate calls. Why this firm specifically came up in every single one and it is clearly the real question. One MD told me my answer could describe six firms.
Variance: Round count moved around a lot in my class, mostly MD availability.
Still waiting. Recruiter said decisions go out in two waves and I am in the second. Ask me anything in the comments btw.

Last anti-cheating department at JPMorgan just closed
One of my friends used to work on a small cheating detection team at JPMorgan (it was briefly opened about a year ago) that was designed to identify third-party tools used in interviews. He just told me that after no significant progress for a few months, the entire team was transferred to different teams.
Some people even got moved to different offices.
This is not, in any way, an invitation to cheat. 😉😉

heads up if you or someone you know ever worked at krispy kreme. they had a data breach back in november 2024 that exposed employee info, names, social security numbers, dates of birth, bank details, all of it. around 161,000 current and former employees got caught in it. theres a settlement now. two ways to claim: if you had actual losses you can document (fraud, identity theft, money you spent fixing it) you can get up to $3,500. if you just want the easy route, theres a flat payout around $75 with no documentation needed. everyone affected also gets a year of free credit monitoring whether or not you file, but you only get the cash if you actually submit a claim. deadline is june 22 2026. claim form is on the official krispy kreme data settlement site. worth telling anyone you know who worked there, a lot of former employees have no clue this exists.

This is some bullshit.
Six rounds over three weeks, senior backend role. Coding was clean. System design the interviewer stayed 20 minutes over to keep talking. Behavioral was real conversation, didn't even need to lean on STAR stories, they liked me.
Got the offer call this morning. 135k base, 10k sign on, zero equity. My current comp is 168k at a smaller company. I asked if there was any room to wiggle and the recruiter said, and I quote, "honestly we feel you might be overqualified for the role we're hiring into, so we're trying to be fair by not over-committing."
Are you serious? Translation, we hope you take less. The posting said 140 to 180 by the way.
I declined on the call. She asked if I'd "consider being flexible." I asked what flexibility looked like from their side. She stopped talking. Then she said she'd "circle back."
She's not going to circle back. They wanted a bargain, I'm not the bargain. What is it with these recruiters thinking they can scam engineers like this?
I mean I did use cluely because I couldn't bother to learn their company stack, api conventions and other company specific structure, but still that much of a lowball is too much. Also was kinda suprised that the coding stayed clean, system design aswell was nicely structured, even on behavioral did good. Next loop starts tuesday, cluely stays in the stack, and the next recruiter who tries this is getting hung up on faster.
