Behavioral Case
The first round had two in-person interviews. They started with standard fit/behavioral questions as a warm-up, then moved into a case study. There was a written case included. The interviewer for the written case was nice and interacted well, but the other interviewer was 20 minutes late and seemed uninterested the whole time. They gave me a travel reimbursement form, but I never got my travel money back, haha. Also, no feedback was given even though they mentioned it would be before the interview.

After a few weeks of waiting for them to get back to me on my application, I was invited to London for an interview. The interview consisted of two one-on-one sessions: first, a case study focusing on a Canadian Oil company, and then a personal interview.

Case Behavioral Technical
It started with an on-campus interview, then about 10 days later, an in-office interview. The interviewers were super nice, and the whole process really showed off the company's cool culture. But, they took ages to get back to me after the interviews, like over a month, which wasn't great. The first interview was the standard case and fit questions combo. The second round had three parts, each about 40 minutes. There was a written case study, which was pretty challenging with lots of number crunching and no one to ask for help, and then two interviews focusing on personality and fit, with a few business sense questions thrown in.
