Behavioral Presentation

It was a pretty straightforward 3-step process. The in-office part was the most intense, but overall they were communicative. I got to chat with a few different teams, which was cool, though hiring decisions can be team-specific. The culture seems UK-heavy and mostly male leadership.

Behavioral Case

First interview was with a manager. Everyone was dressed up but not that smart. I wasn't particularly impressed with their team. It seems like how you come across mattered more than your knowledge. It's a fairly traditional-looking firm.
