Initially, I was very nervous to go on this interview as a number of my friends at school had undergone the process and not been offered positions. The interview consisted of three thirty-minute interviews plus a group exercise. I was there from about 11:30am until 5pm. I think overall, the interview was challenging. Be ready to answer many behavioral-based questions.
