Great, it was a total of 3 interviews. First screening and the rest were in-person. The questions were pretty straight forward, and some technical related to the role. I would have prefered online meetings to save a bit more time.

Behavioral Case Presentation Technical
The interview process involved a preliminary phone call, followed by an in-person interview. During the in-person interview, I was given a case study to work on at the beginning and presented it to three interviewers. There was also a French and English language test. I'm rating this company poorly because I never heard back after the process, which took a significant amount of time (at least 2 hours, not including prep). I found out the position was filled when a friend mentioned seeing the new hire. For an institution like HEC, this lack of communication is unacceptable.
