Case

I had my first in-person interview round. After two days, I got a call saying I cleared the first round and the next one was a case study. They gave me a timeline, and I spent a lot of time preparing a 12-slide case study very seriously and submitted it on time. It's been two months now, and I haven't heard anything back from HR. They can't reject me based on the case study alone, as I was told I'd have to present it too, but I don't know what happened.

Technical Behavioral

It was an easy interview, sector specific. Not too deep, but a broad range of questions. Go through your textbooks thoroughly. For a good impression, have good practical or ground-level exposure to something commoners are not aware of. Knowing the sector, its current state, its problems, regulatory approach, and different technology roadmaps is enough for a good interview.

Behavioral Technical

I had two interviews, one with a senior manager and another with a partner. The interviews themselves were okay, the interviewers were nice and the questions weren't too tough. What really annoyed me though was that they ghosted me after the interviews. After my partner interview, HR asked for more documents, which I sent, and then I never heard back. I sent follow-up emails but got no reply, even though I saw them on LinkedIn still hiring for the role.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you tell me about your weaknesses?
  • What was the most challenging aspect of your previous job?
