Great office work culture, nice laid-back people.
Did the accelerated interview process due to study abroad. First round in December, second round in January.

Question 1
They gave me two case studies. One was a basic profitability case and the other was a market entry case.
The set up was two case interviews, no behavioral component. They did not ask any personal questions and the cases were back to back. Mine was virtual and over zoom.
There are 2 Rounds of interviews:
1 Round: 2* 40-minute case interview with an associate consultant
2 Round: 3 case interviews with one focusing more on fit/behavioral interview with partners or managing directors
