Case Behavioral
I applied online and then completed the case study. I made it to the first 15-min round with the recruiter, but was rejected after that. If I was more prepared, I would have been fine. Make sure you read up on recent market news and a stock to pitch.

Case Behavioral
It is a 30 mins interview with a recruiter online. Before that, I need to finish a case study (a basic build your start-up one that involves building your own financial model) and a questionnaire (why you want to participate). There are a lot of candidates so my recruiter is very tired when interviewing me. But overall it was a great experience.
