Interview
Conclusion : entreprise ridicule interdisant formellement les candidats à réfléchir et à structurer pendant l'entretien.
L'interviewer avait une réunion après l'entretien et ne cessait de le répéter pendant l'entretien (minimum 5 fois). Il a notamment interdit toute réflexion et structuration de l'étude de cas pour "gagner son temps".
Du coup j'ai été très déstabilisé pendant l'étude de cas, car tout simplement je n'ai jamais appris à le résoudre sans structure ou être synthétique.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I ordered you to not synthesize during your presentation, why the damn did you still want to be synthetic?!
2 cases for R1. Pretty straightforward cases about revenue optimization opportunities. There was a little bit of market sizing but all data needed was given. No behaviorals asked in round 1 for me.
