Three rounds of caste interviews, plus a personal interview covering motivations and life outside of work.
Each interview was conducted by a Partner or Senior Partner, and I was allowed to ask questions of them for 10-15 minutes.
The case interview was assisted - I felt comfortable asking follow-up questions or additional details. It was not a pressure interview.

The interview process was extended and rigorous. After an initial CV and cover letter review, it involved a quantitative assessment and then three rounds of case and personal experience interviews:
Round 1: online case simulation and one in person interview with experience questions and a case
Round 2: two interviews, each with experience questions and a case
Round 3: two more case interviews

1st round - 2 interviews
