GLG Research Manager interview questions

I went through 4 stages for the interview process. An initial telephone interview with someone from the HR team. They want to know about your experience with some competency type questions. They are looking to for people with enthusiasm about the business - I'd recommend doing some background research on the company and understanding the general business model (I was asked to describe what GLG do). The next step was a formal interview in person at the office. I met separately with 3 of the senior managers from different parts of the business, everyone was nice and friendly. The interview covered my background - I got the sense they were looking strongly at cultural fit and how well you would enjoy the style of work. Next is a case study. This is done remotely, someone from the office gives you a call to brief you on the case and then you'll have a couple of hours to do it and email through a response. The case study is fairly straight forward and gives you a sense of the type of work you'll be doing. The final phase is another in person interview session at the office, following the same format and line of questioning as the other session, perhaps with more senior staff.

A third-party recruiter who saw my profile on LinkedIn reached out to me and asked basic questions about my work experience relative to the role and gave me a background about GLG. The week after, I met with two of GLG's Practice Area Leaders separately for an onsite interview. I was essentially asked to elaborate what was on my resume, my knowledge of GLG, a sample case/scenario that involved a client and possible solutions I could suggest. The whole interview took 2 hours. A few days after, I was emailed a case study to work on - an investment bank with a training&development need. It was very tedious. This was designed to evaluate a candidate's capabilities in strategic thinking, resourcefulness and critical writing. Speed and accuracy are essential. Three days after, the recruiter advised me they're passing on my candidacy.
