Interview
First round tech screen, and then straight to superday, was definitely a difficult process and would really prepare anything and everything about LBOs, overall very nice people with wide variety of backgrounds
3 rounds of interview, first 2 rounds with HR including one phone interview and one video interview, final rounds AC 4*30min including behaviour, case study and technicals, interview was not hard
