Point72 Spring Academy / Criteria Video Interview - what questions to expect?

Hi everyone, I recently passed the case study for Point72 Spring Academy and was invited to do the Criteria video interview.
Since I haven’t done it yet I’m wondering, for those who already went through it:

What kind of questions did you get in the Criteria video interview? (Behavioural? Motivational? Technical?)

Did any of the questions relate to your case study or was it purely fit / motivation / background?

Roughly how many questions, and how much time per answer?

Any insight would be super helpful. Thank you in advance!

Can you share roughly what you did for the price/cost drivers for the case study? 

I submitted the case study on Sunday... how long did they take to get back to you? And when you do the interview can you share whether it was behavioural/motivational/techincal? Thanks

 

For the case study I focused on understanding the core revenue and cost drivers and staying very fundamental.
From what I’ve seen, people who progressed past the case study heard back on the 3rd of December.
