Behavioral Technical
The interview process was pretty smooth but a bit lengthy. I applied back in late December and found out I had an interview in late February. I had two initial interviews with a managing consultant and an associate director. One was "skills" based where they asked me mostly specific questions about my resume. The second was "values" where they asked more behavioral style questions but also goals and work style preference. I had one last interview with a director which was another values interview. They asked me more intensive behavioral questions but nothing too unusual. Overall the people were friendly and interesting, but the whole timeline was over 3 months long and I thought it was odd I had to set up my own calendar invites? They just told me when the interviews would be and sent me a teams link.

Behavioral Case Technical
I went through 5 rounds of interviews. It started with a 1-hour behavioral interview, followed by a 45-minute case study. Then, it was all in one sitting: a 45-minute behavioral interview, then a case study that I had a week to prepare for and took me hours, and immediately after, another 45-minute behavioral interview. I put so much effort into this. After the final round, they completely ghosted me. About 4 months later, I got an email saying the position was canceled. It was ridiculous.

Behavioral Technical
I applied in January for an intern position and got a response in late March. The whole interview process was finished in just one week. The person who interviewed me was really nice and happy to share information. They had a clear list of questions they wanted to ask. The only reason I'm giving an average rating is because there was a big mix-up with the hiring manager. I kept getting emails saying that the hiring manager supposed to be my contact should have explained things, but I never heard from them. It was super confusing, though the person who set up my interview was quick to respond and polite. It felt like I was at a disadvantage because the manager assigned to me never reached out.
