Behavioral Technical Case Presentation

Before the interview, there was a short SAT style test and a company video to watch and then write about it. The interview had two parts. The first part was a standard get to know you with questions like what do you know about us and why you would be a good fit. The second part involved a logic puzzle and then some hypothetical situational questions. The interviewer, who is the marketing director of Discover, asked me to come up with a plan to increase credit card transactions, adding a couple of curveballs but nothing too difficult. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.
