I applied online. I interviewed at Ares Management (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Death by a thousand interviews basically. Seemingly professional shop but toxic culture. the technical case study wasn't too hard but definitely, time consuming. The overall interview process was roughly 2 weeks.
1st Round was a super day with 3 back-to-back interviews.
The interviewers were very nice and easy to talk to, they asked high level questions about my experience to gauge how it could connect to the open role.
