Is PL/EM interview process different at MBB than Consultant/Associate level?

As in, would Case performance carry more weightage in evaluation for Consultant/Associate, whereas leadership/PEI questions matter more for EM/PL interview?

Thoughts? Directions??

From what I hear, it’s the same process but the interviewers are stricter in evaluating and are typically more senior
