I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Partners Capital (Boston, MA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Interview consisted of multiple rounds of introductory conversations with a variety of individuals in the firm. I spoke with people both in the San Francisco office as well as the Boston Office (North America HQ). The first few conversations were more behavioral, and as I got towards the tail end of the process, there were a few case studies I had to complete.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Partners Capital (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2025

It was several stages + a case study. The last round is in person. They ask you to do a case study and may do brain teasers as well. Overall well organized process from the HR side.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Partners Capital (New York, NY)
Interview
Couple phone interviews followed by two in-person interviews. The first in-person interview was simple and was concluded by a math test. The second was with a number of the members of the team (Associates, Principles, and Partners) and were two case studies that were not overly difficult.
