Hi there -
I applied to an experienced consultant position at Bain and just heard back. Yesterday, I received an invite to a HireVue one-way interview to complete.

Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?

Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?
