There are 4 Rounds interview in total including HR, Business and peers and Director. Prepare for DCF valuation models and business model analysis. Should be very familiar with financial reports and can explain the relationship.
HR reached out quick and prompt, but response once rejected was slow. Overall quite a good experience with fast turnaround between rounds and HR team was very responsive. Started with a phone interview, followed by a few rounds of in person interview. Questions asked were standard for the industry.

Interview
Got an online case study interview. Had an hour to complete the interview. Interview consisted for logical brain teasers, questions about finance, and also questions on mathematical reasoning. The questions themselves were not that hard, but you had to really properly time yourself to make sure you were able to complete all of the questions on time.
