Behavioral Case Presentation

It's a structured and thoughtful interview process with 4 main stages: screening, a case study with debrief, an in-depth assessment, and reference checks. It might seem long, but it's designed to find highly motivated A players who fit both skills and culture. Since hires get a lot of freedom in their daily work, it's important to select the right people. The entire process is about mutual discovery. You'll get to talk to many firm members to ask questions and understand the work and culture better. The assessment interview is long (around 5 hours), but it's more of a structured conversation about your career highlights, including achievements, things you'd change, and work relationships, rather than being strictly 'difficult'.

Case Technical

First, there was a recruiter screening, then a case study, and finally a four hour SmartAssessment. They let me know what to expect, and it was a great overall experience. It really felt like a preview of the actual job, which was super helpful.
