United StatesPosted Sep 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview process was a mix of PEI and case interviews, and it was pretty structured into two rounds.

In the first round, I had three thirty-minute interviews total: two case interviews and one PEI interview. Then the second round focused entirely on two more case interviews, again each thirty minutes.

Because the round design alternated between problem solving and PEI, I couldn’t just lean on analysis. I had to be ready to switch modes quickly—talk through my reasoning in the case sessions, and then handle the personal-style content with a clear, structured narrative.

In the end, I did receive an offer. What I appreciated most was that the process tested multiple dimensions of my skills
