Interview
Began well, but the last round with a partner went bonkers according to feedback, and was ghosted after that. Super long interview process, with repetitive questions and although most of the interviewers are nice, a couple of them were not helpful at all. In total, 5 rounds of interviews spanning 2 months, and then ghosted after the final one. Super weird! Do not interview unless you're desperate.

Interview
Not stressful as long as you are prepped. All that you have to do is read case in point by by Marc consentino. It is the bible of consulting. If you dont read it you might as well not interview.

Interview
Overall it was an enjoyable experience. The interviewer was friendly and they were happy to answer my questions at the end. I asked about the time to hear back and they said two weeks.
