Technical
The interviews were very technical. The questions were based on MSCI methodology, in a file that they provide to the applicant prior to the exam. The process for me was to go through HR interview, then to take an exam. If you pass the exam, they will schedule you for an interview, then another, with interviewers increasing in leadership position.
