There are 2 rounds of interviews, both of which have 2 back to back interviews (4 total). Each interview has both a behavioural and a case component, which are roughly 20 minutes each.
Interviewers vary in style and difficulty but in general I found the interviews to be challenging / rigorous but fair. The interviewers are generally very warm and open.
