I found it much easier than MBB for biz/ops and GBS which was a huge turn off for me.

Why would this be that large a deal to you? Shouldn’t you be more concerned with the job and less with the interview*?

*My understanding is that the style of the cases is largely the same but the content is less structured and the quantitative asks less involved.

It's usually all ex MBB. So no
