Recruiter Call, Mini Case and then a power day with 2 case studies and 1 product case study. Process was overall smooth. Appropriate documents and resources were provided to prep for the interview.
The entire recruiting process was well-structured and smooth. Overall the super day was a good experience.
So...case interviews - IMO you can't really prep for it as they aren't typical consulting cases. No need for fancy strategy frameworks.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Cases are number-driven. The difficult part is to come up with an equation. Try to calculate #s in your head as hinted by the interviewers. They would change different variables and assess how you approach the problem.
- Understand the concept of break-even & profitability well. By "well" I mean you need to know how to plot different scenarios on a chart.
2 cases I had were:
1) Comparing cashback reward cards vs. standard credit cards. Determine profitability. Remember to convert APR to a monthly rate if you are looking at monthly profits.
2) Credit card application. 2 channels: one through email agents, another through live chat. Compare which channel is more profitable. Be sure to differentiate # of customers vs. # of application processed.
The interview was based on 3 phases. First was screening on call then a video interview with mini case then a power day with 3 phases including product interview, case based and economics based.
First, Screening call: the HR simply walked you thru the interview process and schedule the next round of interview - mini-case. I haven't done the mini case yet. Mini case, just search online for potential cases and prepare for it.
