Question 1
Group case: expected challenges for each interviewee.
Individual case: A complicated case with LOTS of charts, mostly a product launch/ market entry case.
Behavioral: why company, why Korea, why consulting, how to resolve a conflict, typical questions.
The overall experience was good. For internship it's one fit interview and one case interview. For the case interview, interviewer share-screened a deck with me and asked multiple questions along the deck. The case is relevant to Samsung business therefore retail / CPG background would definitely help. They will also ask you math calculations.

- Fit interview (45 Min.) is a typical behavioral interview around your past experiences and your fit to Samsung and GSG.
