Behavioral Technical

Applied online and then there was an HR screening where they asked if I was still interested. After that, I had an interview with a Senior Manager to discuss my background and answer my questions. This was followed by an assessment. Unfortunately, after the assessment, I was ghosted with no further updates on the offer status.

Behavioral Case Technical

After applying online through LinkedIn, I went through a total of 5 interview stages, which took around 5 weeks. Even though it was a lengthy process, everyone I interacted with was helpful, interesting, and seemed very motivated. The first round was a phone interview with two senior researchers I'd be working with directly. Next, I had a timed case interview. The final three rounds were phone interviews with senior consultants or colleagues located internationally.
