Behavioral Presentation
It was a long process, spread out over weeks. I met with all the senior leadership, showing high engagement. It was a deep evaluation of my skills and strengths. They were intelligent and intuitive, and also welcoming and comforting. They were reciprocal, letting me understand the firm and its people. It was slow but respectful of my individuality.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
The interview process began with a recruiter screen to check my interest in Lincoln. Then there was a cognitive test. The second round was a relatively easy valuation case study that I had to present to two associates. The final round was a superday with four interviews. The superday was mostly behavioral questions to get to know me. I never got any feedback even after going through all the rounds.
