They started with a recruiter call, then asked for a CV walkthrough, followed by behavioral questions such as how you'd approach a revenue decrease. After that, they moved on to a technical screen where they asked about new product introductions.

Behavioral
The interview experience was positive, and it's a good company where the interviewers were respectful. I would definitely recommend it. While the salaries offered are not exceptionally high, they are still acceptable. Interestingly, they didn't ask any finance-related questions, focusing instead on personal aspects.

Behavioral Technical Case
I applied through the MBA rotational program, and this particular opportunity came up via a diversity conference. There were two total rounds. The first was a preliminary phone call before the diversity fair. Then, about a month later, I had the full interview, which included two 45-minute interviews. One of those was all behavioral questions, and the other was a financial case study where I had to show I understood how financial statements work and be ready for some mental math. Beyond basic technical knowledge, it wasn't too hard.
