I went through a process for the CAPS team. It started with a recruiter call, then a manager call. After that, I had a short case study which involved excel formatting, data cleaning, and preparing an IR memo and meeting. Finally, I had a call with three team members (VP, SVP, MD) before receiving an offer.
