Interview
First step of the interview is going through the Hirevue where they basically ask you four questions and you need to record an answer. From memory the questions are:
- Talk about your background and how it relates to this role.
- What interests you in this position?
- Talk about your strenghts and weaknesses.
- Talk about your biggest accomplishment.

Once I passed the Hirevue there was only one round of interview and I received a phonecall 2 hours later saying that I was hired, so it's a very quick process.

The interview was very lowkey. We talked about the following:
- Present yourself
- What do you look at when assessing a company?
- If you had five slides to present a company what would be the tittle of the slides
- Small "case" where they presented me a fictional company and their plans to expand into a new sector. I was there to advise the CFO on things to look at. (Basically if it was a good idea or not and what I would at to get to my conclusion)
- Overall discussion on what I think make business great

Important to note that they're nearly exclusively looking for 8-month internships.
