Two rounds of interviews. The first round included a 30-minute behavioral interview and a 30-minute online case interview. The second and final round included two 45-min live interviews. Each of those consisted of 30-mins case and 10-15 minutes to ask the interviewer questions.
Great experience at the interview. All interviewers were very nice and open to discuss anything. The cases were challenging but appropriate for the type of work you are interviewing for. I would recommend people to apply there.
