Interview Process

The process could take anywhere from one week to one month, and a majority of people had a positive experience during the process

1. Initial Phone Screen

The first step of the process is a brief conversation with a recruiter or HR to go over your background and interests. This will be used to screen applicants and decide who should be moved to the next round.

2. Onsite Day

The onsite round of interviews typically takes about half the day and consists of around four interviews. Candidates will be shown around the campus and facilities and asked behavioral questions as well as technical questions, such as math/case problems. Of the four interviews, usually one is a panel case, two are one-on-one cases, and one is behavioral.
