Case Behavioral Presentation
Started with an initial screening call with the head of HR. The next step was a 3-hour case study with two Associate VPs. Success in the case study led to a final round with an MD. A point of caution for future applicants: after the case study, HR called to say they were scheduling the final round and would connect me with a current Associate for an informal chat, implying I was doing well. They promised to send final interview details and the Associate's contact info after the call. I didn't receive the email, so I followed up. HR then sent a rude email claiming I sounded nervous and disliked challenges during the case study, traits unsuitable for their Associates. This contradicts the positive feedback I received from the AVPs. I replied rationally, but received no response. While I respect rejection based on performance, being led on and then given conflicting feedback is a major red flag. I don't recommend this firm for wasting time and lying.

Behavioral
I had a 30-minute Teams call with two people from the business support team for my first stage. They asked me about my experience and competency-based questions. It was pretty relaxed, and they asked some good questions.

Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process was pretty good overall, but the last part of the final round interview got a bit weird with the interviewer asking some tricky questions instead of having a real conversation. The people I met before that seemed great and like a team I'd want to join. I wasn't happy with the feedback either, they said I wasn't ambitious enough after all the interviews and the case study.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Regarding perfectionism, how would you describe yourself?
