There was an on campus case interview which wasn't too hard,. very similar to the practice one on their website.

The night before my interview they held a small social at the hotel to chat with current analysts in the rotation program. The next morning, you're given a schedule and have a behavioral interview, job fit interview, and a case interview set up for the day.
