Typical phone screen with recruiter but was immediately moved to the final stage which was a take-home case. Very interesting process. You have to complete it within 24 hours and discuss results with the interviewer. Complete waste of time. Had nothing to do with the engagement. I have no clue what kind of work the firm does. This information was so intentionally vague.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rios Partners in Apr 2026
Interview
Interview consisted of three interviews - including two cases studies. The process did not seem to have been strongly thought out or have serious guidelines. The first interview was a case study involving a math focused case study, the second was with the hiring manager to go over my resume, and the last was a final case study. Why do two case studies? Why did the HR manager hardly discuss my experience in the second interview? And what was the virtue of doing a second case study interview? Despite having spent a total of 8 hours interviewing and prepping the case study, I received a generic response saying I wasn’t what they were looking for. Waste of my time.

Interview
Initial behavioral interview with recruiter with typical behavioral situational questions, then a case interview a week after with a partner and a manager. Case was given on a Wednesday then you had to submit a memo on your findings within 24 hours then you went over your findings in depth with the partner and manager to talk through how you assessed the data analytically and some of your conclusions
