Candidate-reported interview process

We start with an HR chat, then you gotta do a case where you build a financial model. After that, you meet the investment managers to talk about your model's assumptions and findings.

Had a phone call where they asked behavioral questions, and then did a case study where I had to screen companies and give an initial assessment. They gave me some feedback after I didn't get the job.

The interview process involved a behavioral call with basic questions about my work experience, followed by a take-home case. For the case, I had to present a 3-page written memo persuading them to implement change. Everything was done over the phone, and there was a lot of time between each part. I never heard back after submitting the written assignment.
