(based on my recent experience alone)
R1 was relatively more direct and the cases were pretty standard.
R2 cases would be things that the Partner/Principal worked on themselves and they made the case. More vague problem statement but the general mechanics remain the same.
Higher focus on the fit part as well.

So, there’s 3 rounds:

Round 1: computer nonsense case + math test etc.
Round 2: this is where PLs/Principals/Partners do case interviews with you. Cases are all from our own portfolio and are real world.
Round 3 or DR: this where the MDPs case you + fit (less case more fit - the expect the first round to weed out poor case folks already)

For me, your items 1 and 2 were the same day so one "round"

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
