I had 2 phone interviews and a slide deck assignment. The first interview was a fit interview and the last one was a fit + case interview. The slide deck assignment was done over 48 hours and asked me to do a backgrounder on a French biotech company. If anyone is interviewing for this firm, and make it to the slide deck assignment stage, I recommend that you use not only the target company's website but also find the fiscal year reports they might have available for shareholders to get more information even if it is in a language you can't understand. The company assigned to me was a French one so their report was in French but Google translate provided me with enough translation to glean more information about this company than I would have just by looking at their products listed on the company's website.

Very long. First round short phone screen, second round slide assignment that you must complete within 48 hours, third round case over the phone, final round in the office . The final round consisted of 3 hour-long interviews, each with a behavioral portion at the beginning followed by a case, an hour long lunch with two analysts, and a 30 min presentation of the slide assignment from round 2. All in all, the process was relatively painless but absurdly long. It was also kind of confusing because ISA is currently being acquired by Precision Medicine Group so I had interviews with both groups. My actual in-person interview was at Precision but a person from ISA conducted one of the hour long interviews over the phone (even though his office was located within ~10 blocks of the Precision office and he commented over the phone "Oh I could have just come by in person!"). Overall, it didn't really seem like the two groups had integrated much at all; I asked people from both sides about this and it seemed kind of like a "tbd" in terms of when they would share office space/integrate. I heard back within 1-1.5 weeks between each step which was nice. I'm not really sure why I didn't get an offer; I reached out for feedback after my rejection twice but got no response which was a bit frustrating after the exceptionally long interview process.

applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed on the phone (New York, NY) in November 2017.
First round of interview was a 30min phone screen, 90% FIT with a short market access/sizing case. The next round is an assignment where they ask you to prepare 5 slides on a given topic in the biopharma space. (to be returned with in 48 hours). The next stage is a 45min interview with a manager, FIT and there was a case on comparing 2 products.
