I had a first round phone call where I spoke with an associate about the role and my interest in working there. They asked a few basic, non-technical questions. I was told there would be a follow-up case study, but I never heard back about it.

Behavioral Technical
The first round was a video call with a manager, likely in SFA. We discussed my resume, motivation, and availability. It was quite short, around 15 minutes, perhaps because I didn't perform well. Overall, it wasn't too difficult, but I wish I had prepared more industry-specific questions.
