HR was slightly rude and unfriendly. Mentioned that she was surprised to be working on a weekend. Therefore felt like I was impacted unfairly due to that. Would recommend HR to being more engaging

Pretty simple. 2 rounds of interview. First was simple case interview. Second was 3 rounds with 3 partners. Prepare case interviews and focus on pricing and other revenue drivers. The second interview is 3 hours long so prepare for that.
