Did anyone get PWP's first round for Houston? Or did anyone complete PWP's first round last year and have insight? From my understanding a third party company interviews you and reads from a script so I think interview questions will be pretty similar. Any insight would be helpful, thanks in advance!

Brain teasers and basic technicals but brush up behaviorally and sound sharp. If u progress depending on your interviewer the interview will get a large step up in difficulty in SD.
good luck!!
Awesome, thank you!
I heard that the interviews can be reasonably challenging? Are the interviews done by the same person?
