The interview process was a graduate trainee interview conducted on campus. They used to do campus drives until 2011 and then stopped. No freshers were recruited through this method anymore. Nowadays, candidates are hired only if they have references.

Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process was informal and I went through three rounds of interviews. I was recruited from campus. There was a pre-placement pitch followed by Q&A. The first round was a telephonic interview with a middle/junior HR manager or campus recruiters where general questions were asked. The second round was an interview with senior members of the M&A team. The third round was an interview with a senior HR manager.
