Case Behavioral Group
First up is a resume screen where they look at your background, leadership experience, and anything else relevant. Then, there might be an online assessment to check your analytical and problem-solving skills. After that, you'll have first-round interviews, which usually involve case interviews and some behavioral/fit questions, typically with junior consultants. If you pass that, you move to final-round interviews. These are more in-depth case and behavioral interviews with senior consultants or partners, and sometimes include group exercises. Finally, they'll make an offer decision based on how you did overall, especially with case-solving and fitting in culturally.

Case Technical
R1- One hour Telephonic by a Manager-Consulting It completely revolved around a case work. Good experience. R2- 40 minutes face to face video interview by a Sr. Manager- Consulting. It also revolved around a case work. She kept her camera turned off the entire time. Further she did not realise but I could hear her eating sounds. Probably having her lunch in parallel(interviewed between 1pm to 2pm). She kept forgetting what question she asked about the case and kept insisting that she asked something else. Very bad experience.
