Hi
I don't have personal experience interviewing with PE firms, but according to my friends:
1. The focus is on valuation cases (duh :P) - these require you to estimate a target company's revenue sources, costs and do some basic DCF calculations to arrive at a price that they should pay for the target.
2. The cases are math-heavy and you are required to be quick on your feet with calculations and estimates.
3. Be clear on the personal interview front - why do you want to join PE? How do your story and motivations lead up to this?
All the best!
