Case Behavioral Technical
I went through three rounds. One interview was with a Director who ran a case study with me. The other two interviews were with Partners. Those were less structured, they started with an intro, asked me about myself, and then we just had a conversation with questions.

- A partner asked me about a project they were working on that day, describing a market entry problem and asking for my thoughts, with names and specifics removed.

Behavioral Technical
The interview wasn't super hard, but they did ask some weird, repeated questions. The EA asked a pretty basic question: "explain a difficulty u faced and how you fixed it?" It totally threw me because I haven't been asked that since I was 21.

Behavioral
The initial phone interviews were a bit challenging due to the interviewee repeatedly postponing the scheduled calls. Eventually, I was invited for an in-office interview, which was quite interesting, although it felt like they were trying to conceal something. Despite the circumstances, I did receive an offer, but it was for a position below what I applied for, with the promise of a 'fast track' to a manager role. Reading 'Fast Track' during my senior year of college brought back some memories.
