It were 4 rounds in total ans it started with a short phone call with typical questions (why do you want to work here etc.). After the screening I had another interview which went well. after that a live case study followed were you only have 10 minutes to solve it. The case study itself wasn't that difficult but there was a lot of time pressure. within these 10 minutes you have to find an expert for the specific case.
