I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mu Sigma
Interview
Received an online interview a few days after applying. Had 3 parts. 1st part had 6 typical behavioral questions with a 2-3 minute time limit, 2nd part had 9 personality questions with a 30 second time limit, 3rd part was a 20 minute writing assignment designed to judge your knowledge/interest in the Columbus program. Was invited to a group webinar after a week. Then got an email inviting me to the final interview about a 1-2 weeks after that, which was a live video call with a recruiter. Lasted around 45-50 minutes and consisted of more specifics on the program and position, a few more behavioral questions, and a 3-4 general case questions/scenarios. Cases were qualitative and just meant to get an idea of your general business acumen. Got offered a little over a week later. Questions themselves aren't super easy, but their expectations are reasonable.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to change an inefficient process.
The interview was pretty straightforward. It consisted of 3 rounds. The first round was to fill out a questionnaire describing how you would tackle on certain business cases. The second round was a recorded video interview in which you a specific business case was given to you and had to think on the fly to answer it. The third was a video interview with the recruiter where again they ask you behavioral and business case questions.
I interviewed for Mu Sigma in January 2020. The entire process took about 3 weeks. You first complete an online test that has 3 sections. The first section is taking a video of yourself answering various questions, then there is a multiple choice section and a case study. After passing the online test, they set up a video interview. Then there was an HR interview a few days later. The HR interview was when they extended the offer.
