1. Applied online. 2. Some internal scheduling conflicts meant that my first interview was a technical interview with the Director of FP&A, followed by a brief phone screen with HR. 3. Following this, I got invited in for an on-site interview that lasted 4+hours. The on-site interview was 4x 30min sessions with five individuals. Each session was a combination of case-study questions and behavior interview questions. Three days before the on-site, I was given an Excel file with four questions and a data dump. I was asked to create a 45-min presentation to the panel (made up of the four interviewers) to answer these questions and show the analytics I performed over the data dump. 4. Was told I would hear back in 4-days. Received no response for 9-days after the interview. I ended up following up to find out what happened. Got a response two whole days later, in the form of a two line email saying I was unsuccessful. I followed up requesting for feedback, and fortunately I received responses from 2/4 of the interviewers with some brief feedback and HR was gracious enough to give me a call and provide some feedback as well. I appreciated that. All in all, my main complain is the time-consuming nature of the process. The excel prompts and presentation was a tad over the top, needing an extensive (7hours) worth of prep time on my end to perform the data analysis and create a professional ppt presentation, and then another couple hours to prep for the case-study interviews and the behavior interviews. HR did some interesting cute stuff onsite, including a handwritten welcome note, protein bar and water in the interview room. The 4x one-on-one interviews itself were intense, back-to-back and kept switching gear from case study to behavioral. The schedule was a tad too tight, with not much time to take a bathroom break and limited time for me to ask questions and find out about the team. Also, given the length of the interview (4+hours), some lunch would have been very appreciated. Interviewers were sharp, smart and busy individuals. One was in the FP&A team, two were part of peripheral finance functions and one was from a different team (there to assess my ability to work cross-functionally). And one extra junior individual joined in to shadow an interview (I was not informed about this so was a bit of a distraction).

The interview process took about 4 weeks. The process consisted of a recruiter phone screen, analyst phone screen, modeling exercise, and onsite interview. The modeling exercise you will end up presenting in a reserved time block on your onsite. The panel consisted of 4 people including the cross-functional business partner.
