Two rounds of interviews which the rounds taking ~1 week apart. First round was one interview with a principal or project leader supplemented with a math test on the same day. Second round was two interviews each with a partner on the same day.
Interviews are ~1hour long with ~30mins dedicated to a case interview—this can vary significantly depending on the candidate or interviewer.
Sehr professioneller Umgang. Alle Gespräche verliefen sehr unterschiedlich und waren auf Augenhöhe. Dies gilt für die erste und zweite Runde. Zusage kam ca. 3 Stunden nach dem letzten Interview der zweiten Runde.
