Don’t do it - stay away - place is horrible. If you really want to work there, the interview will be with two different people. They will both contain cases - the cases are now standardized from a book developed internally (will depend on your area of interest - e.g., deals, healthcare). Typically 45 minutes a piece with a 50/50 split of qual / quant

The level of hell you embark upon is dependent on practice area - there is a large consensus that the Payor Practice is the 8th circle of hell. For the most part everyone is out for themselves (including your coaches and relationship partners). Hours / work life are typical 60 hours+ m-f and often several hours on the weekend. Standard strategy case on average (buy, build, partner, etc)
