Structured and standard. Behavioral fit and case interview. First round with manager and final round with director and several partners. The overall process took around 2 months. One of the case interview is more creative and need the interviewee to drive the conversation. Others are relatively standard and conversational.

Nice interviewers and an overall smooth interview process; 30 minutes of behavioral and 30 minutes of a case study. I didn't make it past the first two rounds but they gave me a profitability case for the first one and a drug pricing case for the second
