Candidate-reported interview process
It was tough, with consulting-style case study questions and behavioral questions. The team seemed solid and hard-working, full of competent people. I reached out to analysts and associates for intros and was able to advance to the superday.
The interview process included an initial round with two case interviews, followed by a final round featuring four case interviews conducted by more senior team members. These interviews had a loosely behavioral component, varying based on the interviewer.
The interview process started with one round that was a case study. Then there was a Superday which consisted of 3 back-to-back case studies with VP-level interviewers. These case studies covered a range of industries, from landscaping companies to businesses like Ticketmaster.
