The interview process was really smooth and easy. After applying online, I heard back in about 2-3 weeks to set up an online interview. I finished the interview, and they called me the very next day with an offer for the Business Analyst Intern role. The person interviewing me was super friendly. The whole thing wasn't stressful at all and was totally worth it.

Behavioral

A recruiter reached out about a month after I applied for a Business Analyst role. When she contacted me, she mentioned the position was actually for a rotational analyst program. I went into the interviews expecting questions related to analyst roles, but they were all behavioral. It was a pretty intense interview process with 5 back-to-back 1-on-1 interviews.
