You don’t have to take up all the time but be sure to ask questions at the end. A lot of them were eager to answer my questions. All of it was virtual.

Interview
There were 6 interviews split into two rounds of three. Three Management consulting cases and 3 behavioral interviews including an interview with HR that went deep into one' soul. For cases, prepare for Bain/BCG-style "digging for gold" cases rather than McKinsey-style "here is everything you need to know" cases.
