Behavioral Technical
The interview process was quite smooth, consisting of 2 rounds. It's crucial to submit your application early. The initial round involved a screening with someone from the America office, focusing on standard motivational and CV-related questions. The final round comprised 5 consecutive interviews at the London office, with flights and accommodation covered. While there were some basic technical questions, the majority were behavioral. Preparing using the WSO guide should be sufficient. All interviewers were very pleasant. Feedback was received within a few days after both rounds. My friends who weren't successful took much longer to hear back.
