First stage interview that was conducted online, one to one. The interview lasted about 50 minutes, the first 10 minutes were dedicated to HR type questions, followed by 25 minutes of a case study.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview standards, sometimes a bit abstract especially on partner level
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
