Behavioral Case Presentation

It was a good interview experience, they made me feel comfortable. The interviewer was nice and encouraging. There were several parts to the interview: an ice breaker, a professional pitch, questions about my past experiences, a case study, and I had time to ask my own questions.

The interview process was lengthy. I had a Zoom call with two executives that lasted over two hours, but ultimately I did not get the job. They were very friendly, however, the interview felt longer than it needed to be.

  • Can you describe a challenge you faced and overcame in your previous roles?
