It was a smooth conversation with two interview rounds, one with the Manager and another with the Director. However, the hiring process dragged because of HR bottlenecks. They want candidates who are adaptable and can handle various responsibilities.

Behavioral Group Case Behavioral
Got contacted for a first intro phone call in early Jan. They asked me about my CV, availability, and graduation date. Then, a second phone interview with HR, which was about 90 minutes long and had over 30 profiling questions. After passing, I went to a group assessment that took all afternoon. We started with a company presentation, then broke into groups to solve two cases each. We also had to review another group's case solution and decision-making. Next, I had a face-to-face interview with a manager who revisited my CV, expectations, and motivation. The final round was in February with another manager, doing the same kind of interview. I was told I'd hear back in March, but it's now June and no response despite emails asking for feedback.
