United StatesPosted Jan 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a more standard, professional process that still relied on case interviews, typically over a couple of stages within about a month.

Recruiter / initial phone screen — A ~30-minute call covering background and personality, followed by a few short cases.
Campus or first major round — On-campus interviews with limited behavioral components mixed with cases.
Final stage (multi-interviewer block + lunch) — Several back-to-back interviews on-site (five-plus people in some formats), including one with senior leadership and at least one interviewer with an economics PhD; I was probed deeply on research-style topics like econometrics concepts.
Back-to-back rounds to final — Additional case-heavy rounds
