Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This was one of the funniest interviews I have ever attended. Here's why (peer interview/case round) -
1. The case was good enough for hiring an Analyst/Associate at max and definitely not a Manager: It was such a waste of time asking basic math questions for a manager role
2. The interviewer annoyingly interrupted several times and had no interest in learning about my previous and very relevant experience and what I bring to the table; did not even have their video on while as a candidate I was asked to stay on video
3. Wanted answers in bullet points and headers for the business case presented verbally over the call
All individual.
First to receive a HR call, which is the basic question and strength and weakness.
Then to interview with Senior manager
Finally interview with Partner
The questions are mainly on work experience and a few technical questions.
I interviewed for a position that's slightly out of my expertise. They took the time to understand why and was engaging to explain what the role requires. There were 3 of them.
Softball questions. Technical questions were nothing difficult and so weren't memorable. Interviews were more of a soft skills check than anything else. The decision was already made once my resume was seen.
