Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
The interview process was lengthy and structured, which was quite disappointing given I didn't get feedback after reaching the final round. It felt disrespectful considering the 30+ hours I put into interviews and prep. It had four parts: first, a screening call with HR; second, a behavioral and analytical interview; third, a 10-hour case study requiring prep for a presentation; and fourth, three final interviews covering an assignment walk-through, a behavioral chat, and a consulting case interview.

I made it to 4 out of 5 rounds, and everyone was super friendly. It definitely got tougher as we went along, with technical questions showing up in the last two interviews.

Case Technical
It was a four round process. The first round was just basic intro stuff. The second round had intro and a case study. The third round was a case study exam, took about 8-10 hours. The fourth round was the final round and also a case study. Everyone was super nice and supportive, but it was a really competitive process.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
The interview process included a few stages. First, a Zoom call without video for some behavioral and analytical ESG questions. Next, another Zoom call, this time with video, where they went a bit deeper into the behavioral and analytical ESG questions. Then, there was a take-home assignment, a due diligence assignment, which had a 48-hour deadline but realistically took about 8-12 hours to complete; it's important to be concise and back up all your points. The final round was quite intense, about 2.5 hours long, with around 7 associates in back-to-back sessions. It started with a check-in with the lead recruiter, covering behavioral questions and your strengths/weaknesses. Then, you had to explain your thought process for the DDQ response, followed by a case question, and a Q&A with the lead recruiter. For those without a business background, preparing for the case is crucial, as it assesses quick thinking and general business operations understanding, even if it felt less relevant and didn't involve quantitative analysis. This final 'super day' felt more like a tough final exam than a casual culture fit interview. Overall, the people seemed smart and hardworking, and if you don't have a business background, focus on researching ESG issues and business/invest terms to show passion, in-depth understanding, and concise communication.
