Case Behavioral
The interview process was quite extensive. It began with two 45-minute phone interviews that covered both case studies and fit questions. I heard back within a week and was invited to the final round. This round involved several one-on-one interviews, including two with partners. The firm made a real effort to make me feel comfortable and to help me understand the work they do. My experience during the final round solidified my decision that this was the right firm for me.

Behavioral Case Technical
Applied through the MBA Career Center job board. Didn't meet the firm beforehand. First round had two back-to-back 30-minute interviews. Each had 15 mins of general resume/behavioral questions and 15 mins of ideation cases. One case was about assessing the potential of a new technology. The interviews were fun and relaxed. The second round in Watertown also had two back-to-back 30-minute interviews, which were more like conversations about growth and innovation. Really laid-back and interesting talks. The only downside was the slow response from HR, possibly due to the firm's rapid growth. Overall, a pretty easy and relaxed hiring process. They seem to hire a lot from Harvard Business School.

Case Group Behavioral
So there were 3 parts to the interview process. First, I had 2 case interviews, each about 30 minutes long. Then, there was a pretty long session, 5 hours, which was a group interview or project where someone was observing. Finally, I had a last interview with a partner.
