It’s a combined round so we will have a decision pretty immediately You should take it if you’re not willingly to wait 2-3 weeks in between rounds.

1 pei would be 30 mins...basically a chat with a Partner. Yes you would have rounds 1&2 in one go. The downside is normally between rounds 1 and 2, you would get feedback if there are areas of improvement. I would double check on the format with your recruiter. This was my experience with power round.

Thanks - I’ve asked to expedite interviews and then been given the option of power round and wondering if I should take it. Any advice?

I’d split it up unless you are in a rush, by the 4th you might not be at your best and the interviewer may or may not take that into account

like

Yes I have done it in the past. It's 3 cases + pei and 1 pei all in one day.

Thank for the reply!

Does that mean that you had a combined R1 & R2 interview in one day?

Also, does the 1 pei mean you had an interview with 50 min just pei?

It was really frustrating on both ends.
