Candidate-reported interview process
It was a case interview, then a math/probability problem, then a behavioral interview. The whole thing took about half a day. They took me to the cafeteria for lunch, which was pretty impressive. Felt quite old-school, though.
It was a standard case interview process, I had two cases on the same day. One was pretty standard, the other was harder and a bit unusual. It was a good experience overall.
The interview process included an initial round followed by a superday. Both stages featured case studies. The first round also incorporated some behavioral questions. The case studies were similar to traditional consulting ones, but with a focus on investment rather than prescription, mainly assessing the candidate's thought process.
