Case Behavioral
For the first round, I went through two interviews. Each interview involved a case study, similar to those featured on their website, and some behavioral questions at the beginning and end. It was cool that both interviewers were alumni from my university.

Case Behavioral
The first part of the interview process was virtual, and then the final interviews were in person. Everyone was really nice. Both parts had cases back-to-back. The interviewers were friendly and helpful. There weren't many behavioral questions in the first round, but there were quite a few in the final round.

Had a brief case study and personality interview. They asked questions that require basic economic background, so it's good to brush up on your micro (elasticities are particularly important). The interviewers were very friendly and the process was as smooth as it could be. Quick turnaround <1 week.
