There were 4 stages:

Interview questions [1]
Question 1

- Why SF
... have questions prepared for your interviewers, they're keen for you to ask
Biggest Tip: Prepare, prepare religiously, especially for the case study as it can be quite a beast if you have a short period of time. Also, cheesy, but be yourself - they really ask you a lot about your personality and motivations.
