Technical Behavioral Case
The interview process started with a 20-minute phone screen where they checked for basic knowledge of airline operations. About a week later, I was invited to their Chicago office at Willis Tower, with flights, transportation, and meals covered. The day involved a 1-hour math test, three 45-minute interviews with senior managers, and a casual 30-minute chat with current analysts. I was informed that studying past Glassdoor questions would be beneficial, as many appeared in my interview. This is a comprehensive process that ends with a background check and offer.

Behavioral Technical Other
I applied online and heard back within days for an HR phone interview. It was casual, about culture, fit, and the job. A few weeks later, I had a second phone interview with the hiring manager about my past experience. Then, I went to their HQ for an interview with HR, the hiring manager, some peers, and the director. The peer interview was weird; one person left mid-conversation. They gave me a skills test that seemed too easy for someone with my background. The staff, except HR and the manager, were unfriendly. I got a rejection email soon after. It was a lot of time, but good to know it's not a place I'd want to work.

Technical Case Behavioral Other
I had a phone interview and then was flown into headquarters for a final round. The phone interview asked what I knew about the company and also 3 questions about what factors I'd consider when pricing a certain flight. The in-person interview included a computer-generated math test and then interviews with three other people in the department. I was asked a few airline case questions (you can find some examples online if you search airline case interviews), what I knew about the airline industry, some word problems, and some questions on my background and any analytical projects I've done. It's really important to do your research on the airline industry beforehand, specifically what factors affect pricing decisions (seasonality, macroeconomics, the type of travelers on a route, etc) and the current state of the industry.
