Case Behavioral

First, there were two interviews covering basic market sizing and some behavioral questions. Then, the second round also had two interviews: one behavioral and a challenging full case interview about market entry, which included a fair amount of math. I received feedback after the final round. Everyone I met was great, and both rounds were conducted by consultants.
