Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process involved 3 rounds. It started with a 30-minute introductory/coffee chat interview. Then there was a 1-hour interview that was half behavioral and half 'light' technical. Finally, there was a 1.5-hour superday with three different people: a 30-minute behavioral interview with an MD, a 30-minute technical interview with an IM, and a 30-minute case study with analysts.

It was an in-person or Zoom interview where we met face-to-face. They asked about 3-4 common questions about what I would do or have done in specific tough situations. The goal was to see how I'd handle future customer or client interactions and to get a feel for my personality.

Behavioral Other
We had a few informal chats over lunch with some local and regional managers. It felt more like a discussion about the potential for me to bring my business over, rather than a traditional interview. They asked about my business makeup and revenue. In total, we met two or three times, and I also visited the office when it was quiet.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Could you tell me your previous trailing 12 gross revenue?
