Two rounds, short personal interview then case interview. First round is a full case with some basic market sizing, but not too difficult. Final round is much more difficult/abstract, done with two partners.
Classic two round case interview and culture fit with multiple interviews per round, case is guided but you are expected to understand and explain structures and use math in a quick and smart manner.
