Technical Behavioral
I went through a Superday which had 4 interviews back-to-back, each lasting 30 minutes. They asked standard technical questions, drawing from BIWS guides, and covered topics from Accounting to LBOs. The behavioral questions were pretty standard too. The people I met were great though.

Behavioral
There were two interviews. The first one lasted an hour and had two interviewers. The second one was 30 minutes long. During the second interview, the interviewer's facial expressions were noticeably unwelcoming, which created an uneasy atmosphere. They seemed disinterested, and their body language suggested they were not fully engaged in the conversation.

Behavioral Technical
I met with an associate and a VP for the first interview round. It was a mix of behavioral and technical finance questions. The interviewers were really nice, but I wasn't prepared enough for the technical part. Most of these questions can be studied using BIWS and other technical finance platforms.
