Phone interview followed by video conference interviews.
In the phone interview I was mostly asked general questions (why investment banking, why position, when did you become interested in investment banking, etc.), a couple of technical questions (explain DCF, what's WACC), and a few brainteasers.
There were 3 back-to-back video conference interviews: 1 technical, 2 competency based.
