Behavioral Technical Technical Other
Overall not too bad. It involves an initial round where HR does a phone screening. After that there is a super day with 3-4 interviews. First, there is a behavioral round and then two technical rounds, each lasting 45 minutes, which is followed by a more casual coffee chat.

Behavioral Technical
The interview questions were standard and not tricky. The recruitment process was long (took several months) and I did not get any reply after the final round. The pay was also not competitive enough.
Confirmed questions1 question

Behavioral Technical Case Other
The initial interview involved two team members, a manager and an associate, who were both quite approachable. This first stage was typical, focusing on my background, reasons for applying, and my understanding of their work. The subsequent round included an Excel test and a case study, which was hampered by poor equipment and a very late supervisor, cutting into the allotted time.
