Technical Behavioral Case Group
The interview process kicked off with a skills assessment, followed by a first-round behavioral interview with two interviewers. The final stage was an in-person superday, which went on for almost six hours. The superday included three behavioral interviews, a group case study, and an individual case study, and honestly, there wasn't enough time to finish the case properly. The whole thing was a bit of a drag, taking about four months from start to offer. The company vibe felt pretty depressing, and some of the first-year analysts seemed unprofessional and condescending during the superday. For the pay and location, a 5-6 hour superday with case studies felt excessive. There was also no clear info on rotations or training, making the program seem unstructured.

Technical Coding Case Behavioral Other
First was OA with 2 DSA questions (medium) and some normal output/reasoning questions. Second was a 30 min technical round on DSA, OOPS, and resume, asking 'why' for everything and basics, especially hashmaps and heaps. They also asked puzzles to others, GFG style. Third was a case study round with a business problem and data questions, testing thinking, logic, and quick maths, not technical. Fourth was another technical round, mixing resume/OOPS theory and case study elements, no coding, just theory on resume stuff. Fifth was a 2-hour behavioural round with India Head, a GD with 6 candidates. Sixth was a 20 min culture fit with Italy Heads, basic-medium technical and some behavioural questions.
