Summer Intern Interview
I was then invited within 2 weeks to sit down with an interview. The meeting happened over zoom and it was with 2 Senior Research Analysts who asked me a lot of questions regarding Industrial Organisations and an econometric based case study. I was supposed to evaluate the merger of a supermarket chain and find a way to measure if there was a threat of dominant position. Afterwards, I discussed my research thesis for my BSc degree.

1st round was Zoom interview with two employees, selected randomly from across different offices/practices.
Then was the Superday, which was consisted of 3 Zoom interviews, one-on-one, 1 technical and 2 technical+behavioral.
Superday consisted of 3 interviews, 1 technical (a lot on DCF, capital structure, working capital etc.) - but this is for the finance practice only. 2 were senior members (directors of the office) who were really great people to talk to. The interviews with them consist of technicals (easier than the first one, similar topics) and fit/personal motivation questions. Would strongly recommend maintaining academic caliber-ish attitude.
