Interview
Really nice people, good experience interviewing. Not incredibly hard, case-like questions with a couple behavioral questions at the end. Two back-to-back interviews same format (30 minutes each). Really recommend experience.
Two 45-minute case studies with a five minute intro and 5 minute debrief on either end. The interviews took place over zoom with a mid-level manager and a partner. This was the final interview after the same format was conducted with more entry-level consultants (same process)
