Behavioral Technical
Several rounds of interviews. They actually hire a lot of new associates (+10) but also very many people apply. As expected they ask accounting scenario questions. Final interview (more like a formality) with a partner.

Case Behavioral Group
The interview process usually begins with a group case interview, then moves on to a partner interview. The partner interview is mostly behavioral, with no technical questions, and generally lasts about 20–30 minutes. Overall, the process is not very hard and is more about evaluating communication skills, teamwork, and cultural fit instead of technical knowledge.

Behavioral Technical Case
Der Ablauf umfasste mehrere Schritte: Zuerst gab es ein kurzes telefonisches Gespräch mit HR, in dem Lebenslauf, Motivation und grundlegende Infos zur Position besprochen wurden. Danach folgten ein oder zwei fachliche Interviews mit Teammitgliedern bzw. dem Management, in denen sowohl technische Fragen als auch Cases oder Praxisbeispiele behandelt wurden. Abschließend fand ein finales Gespräch statt, das auch die kulturelle Passung sowie mögliche Entwicklungsperspektiven thematisierte. Insgesamt war der Prozess professionell und gut strukturiert, und die Kommunikation erfolgte zügig und freundlich.
