The interview was easy, no difficult questions. Following the interview I was sent a test of sorts on Excel. They sent me a spreadsheet with a list of things to do with it.

Interview
For my application group, the field was cut to 9 before any interviews and then phone screening cut it to 8. The in-person interview consisted of four 45 minute interviews with the four departments. For the most part it's just resume review, but there are a few situational questions. I would recommend knowing the company and coming prepared to go over excel and probability skills to some extent.
