- On campus Interview
- Super-day interview onsite. There were three behavioral interviews and one case study.
Interview Questions
The most difficult questions were the follow-up questions after my case study presentation, so be prepared to defend your argument, and adapt it as needed. The interviews went by surprisingly quick, which I was not expecting because it was a pretty grueling process overall-- I didn't feel the effects of it until leaving the office.
Know your story well and have a clear path to the industry. I was coming from a liberal arts background, so this was a big part of my interview process. It could vary though, if you're already coming in with an Econ degree. I did have some previous coursework in finance and accounting, though.
