Each interviewer has an equal contribution to the decision. Based on how you describe your performance, the third partner needs to be at minimum a "maybe" (definitely not a no) while the other two are a "yes" for you to receive an offer. If the only problem with your last interviewer was the quant section which you did well in your other two cases as well as in round 1 AND you showed standout performance in other sections, then you could still be ok. The decision is based on a combination of consistency and distinctiveness of your performance. Fingers crossed!

Hi there,

In essence, the Partners get together and talk. They state why they support or don't support a candidate. At the end of the day, there's a discussion and it all depends on how strongly each individual feels one way or the other.

Hey there,

Since there are already good answers to your question, I'd like to add one point:

If you get predominantly positive feedback from all but one interviewer, it could happen that they invite you for another interview to challenge you on your (perceived) weaknesses.

Cheers,

Hi there,

All first and second round recruiters gather together to take the final hiring decision. They will look for consensus and anyone has voice to veto your progress to next round. Recruiter is also present in the decision call to make sure everyone has equal weight in the final decision.

Hi there,

The interviewers make a decision together, eaning everyone's opinion count. HR managers really don't participate.

What I'd like to add is trust your guts, but don't overthink it now and wait for the result.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Hello!

Interviewers have the same weight, and the decision needs to be agreed. Hence, in case there are doubts, you will be called for a 3rd interview.

Hope it helps!

Hi,

Making mistakes is normal.

The partners will collectively review your performance and carefully assess your profile before making a final decision.

Good luck,

Antonello
