Case Presentation Behavioral
I went through 4 rounds of interviews plus a case study. I finished the case study and presentation, but then I never heard back from the PM. HR mentioned there was an indefinite hiring freeze. About 2-3 months later, they did hire two analysts. Then, about 6-10 months after that, they changed the strategy and the team changed.

I submitted my application on the website and then did a hire view interview. After that, I went through a few rounds of interviews with the team I would be working with. They didn't ask super technical questions, but focused more on getting to know me and seeing if I'd be a good fit for the team.
