Behavioral Technical
The interview process kicked off with a 30-minute chat with an analyst or associate. Following that, there was another 30-minute interview with a different associate, which leaned more technical. The next stage was an assessment center that included three interviews, one of which was with a Managing Director. In total, there were 5 interviews, and unfortunately, no feedback was provided at the end. I was rejected at the final hurdle.

Technical Case Behavioral
So, there were 5 rounds in total. It started with HR, then a technical round with an associate. After that was the super day, which had 3 interviews back to back. Then came a case study that I had 3 days to complete, followed by one more interview. Finally, there was the MD round. Pretty much all of it was super technical, except for the HR part.

Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process involved multiple rounds. The first round was with an analyst and an associate, each interview lasting about 30 minutes. The second round was a Superday, where I met with 4-5 people from associate to MD level, with each interview lasting around 45 minutes. The final round was a live case study that lasted for 1 hour. The HR team was really helpful and quick to respond, which made scheduling the interviews a breeze.
