Behavioral Case
Got referred and an HR person set up the interview. It was with an analyst/associate who asked about my background and gave me a case study. They asked some really specific questions that would need experience in that area to answer.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
First I sent my CV and did a Pymetrics Game test. About a month and a half later, I got an offer to do a one-way video interview. A week after that, they replied asking me to do a zoom interview with 2 people from the department. In total, there were 5 interviews: 3 with analysts & VPs, 1 with HR, and the last one with an SVP. My main advice for the pymetrics interview is 1) never look away from the camera, 2) always smile, 3) have good lighting showing your face well, and dress nicely. The content of your questions matter somewhat - but this is a filtering round - the main thing is coming across serious, presentable, and friendly.

It was a really smooth and nice interview process. The interviewers knew their stuff, so I'd expect a lot of prodding around your answers. Unfortunately, my last interview was canceled, but overall it was a great experience meeting knowledgeable people.
