Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Each ML Case Interview was a separate day and required you to explain your approach to solve a given ML problem. Additionally, you could also be asked to walk them through your CV or some general "Culture" questions.
The ML questions were interesting because they would usually be something that the given manager faced on a case before, so you get good insight in what the work can be like.
4 different interviews, each was 15 mins of fit and 45 mins of a case interview. There were all online. It was a typical MBB case interview, interviewee led and there was a math calculation in each
I completed two consecutive case interviews for the associate consultant intern position. They were pretty standard. Just make sure you can quickly understand figures and do quick mental math problems
