Three rounds of caste interviews, plus a personal interview covering motivations and life outside of work.
Each interview was conducted by a Partner or Senior Partner, and I was allowed to ask questions of them for 10-15 minutes.
The case interview was assisted - I felt comfortable asking follow-up questions or additional details. It was not a pressure interview.
