Received a non-typical case relating to the public sector services. The maths aspect was not too difficult but due to my lack of previous knowledge on the inner-workings of the public sector, I was not able to offer the most creative recommendations.

2 rounds. 1st round: 30 minutes behavioral, and an online case. online case is pretty standard, i thought I did terribly on it but I still made it to the next round. 2nd round: 2, 45-minute interviews. both had behavioral and cases. My first interviewer was super nice, the second was more intimidating.
