Very pleasant wine and dine super day consisting of 3 interviews back to back (2 behavioral, 1 case). Case interview was standard profit increase case, even for government. All 3 interviewees were personable and understanding of the stressful situation. Afterwards they took us to dinner.

Question 1
How have you worked with difficult teammates in the past?
The interview process had three parts. First was a behavioral conversation focused on collaboration and problem-solving. Next was a technical conversation around various tools. Finally, I spoke about my analytical approach and some projects i worked on.
Referral hire. Lengthy but streamlined interview process. Standard application with one phone screening interview and another set of interviews with partners and Senior managers.
Minimal technical questions for staff, focus was more so on fit and behavior. (E.g., what would you do in X scenario?)
