This consulting firm I am interviewing with requires a 3 hour interview session for round 2 and is completely inflexible on the date... are things normally this stringent? Seeming like a bit of a red flag to me

Probably inflexible because of the availability for the person conducting the interview and a hard deadline to get the new hire. Which company is this lol?

BC1 it's for Marwood Group

Unfortunately, beggars can't be choosers in this economy. Do what you have to do to make it happen! It's definitely a sign of things to come, but if you truly want the job you can handle it.

For a consulting position, yeah it's very possible they're gonna want you there for 3 whole hours. Everybody's read of you will be important. Keep your cool and you'll be fine!

When I had my round 2 interviews recently (different firm), it was also fixed on one day, set for three hours (across multiple interviews). Honestly not surprised it was so strict, given the VP and manager interviewing me only had that specific availability for the day

Three hours does sound intense, but unfortunately it is the standard for that industry. You'll do fine. Good luck
