There were two rounds of interviews. The first one was at a student conference, and after that, I was invited for a "superday" at their corporate headquarters. Both interviews included a mix of behavioral and case questions. Everyone I met was friendly, but overall, it was a pretty standard experience. They seemed to read questions from a script and go through them one by one, so it didn't feel very interactive.
