Technical Case Behavioral
There are two phone calls where you will need to analyze market data. After that, you will take an exam which includes writing about a market, some multiple-choice questions, and some short answers. The last round is with a managing director who might be abrasive to try and scare you. They do this because they have issues with people leaving quickly, so they want to filter you out.

Behavioral Presentation
It was a straightforward and polite interview, checking interest and presentation skills. They were more focused on cultural fit and less on technical skills for an undergraduate candidate from a relevant school. The process was relatively unstructured and the people were nice. It mainly consisted of a few rounds with senior members of the business.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was alright, and pretty standard for the industry. However, more transparency would be good because they don't update candidates that often. They do respond, but it takes a while. The HR person was nice though, just seemed a bit busy.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Tell me about a hypothetical situation involving properties.
