Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was pretty straightforward. There were about 4 to 5 rounds in total. It started with a phone interview, followed by two consecutive case study rounds. The process concluded with an interview with an executive. The interviewers were very responsive and provided positive feedback on my performance.

I applied online, then sent my CV and cover letter. The recruiter emailed me to set up a time. Once that was fixed, the recruit manager called for a 15-minute phone screening, but it only took 7 minutes.

It started with a virtual interview where I had to answer some questions automatically and record myself. The questions were pretty basic, asking about my resume and some behavioral stuff. Then, I talked to some other associates and people on the team, and the questions were kind of the same.
