Case Presentation Behavioral

After the first phone screen, I had 2 rounds with 2 interviews each. The first round had a mini case/context interview and a take-home assignment. I had to build a deck and present it in the interview, followed by a Q&A. They told me the third interview needed to be rescheduled for early the next week, but I never heard back to set a new time. I followed up but still no response. It was frustrating because I put a lot of work into the deck and case prep, and I was really excited about this role. The lack of communication was unprofessional and disappointing. Transparency is important, and ghosting candidates is unacceptable.

Behavioral Case Presentation

The interview process involved two rounds. The first round included meetings with an Engagement Manager and a Partner, each lasting 30-40 minutes. They asked general questions about backgrounds and interests, along with a mini case scenario. The second round consisted of meeting two Engagement Managers. One manager conducted a case study presentation, while the other focused on general questions covering background, interests, interest in consulting, and interest in Prophet.

Case Presentation

I got the interview through a resume drop on my university's career website. The on-campus interview had one straightforward case study. Then, the night before, I was sent an assignment to present on how to fix a failing brand or what changes to make to a successful one. I had an interview with one person, then after the case study, I went to another room with a different person to present the project I had worked on the previous night.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • How would you go about changing a brand that is currently failing?
  • What modifications would you suggest for a brand that is already successful?
