Behavioral Technical
We had a couple of interview rounds. The first one was virtual and lasted about an hour. Then there was a second interview that was in-person and took about 2 to 3 hours with the whole team. This in-person part was really about diving deeper to see if I was a good fit, checking my technical skills, and gauging my overall interest in investment banking.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was good. It consisted of rounds 1 and 2, followed by a superday. The interviews were a mix of behavioral and technical questions, with the technical part focusing on valuation and primarily the 400 guide. I received a response a week after rounds 1 and 2, and then on the day of my superday, I was informed I received the offer.

Behavioral Technical
Screening with HR then back to back interviews with associates. One was very junior, the other more senior. Very personable and easy questions. Stock pitch in a few sentences. The process was extremely drawn out, and it felt like I was lead on. Interviews went really well but I was not invited to move on after weeks of waiting.
