Question 1
Case Prompt:
Your client owns a factory that makes things. The client is very rich and so the quantity of products
made is not important, nor is revenue.
The client wants to buy a robot and fire all his employees, but only if it is cheaper to do so.

I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
Two back to back interviews. Each consisted of 15 minutes of behavioral questions and 30 minutes of a case study. One interviewer was more senior and asked harder hitting questions with a more challenging case. The other was more straight forward.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you felt you had to compromise on your values.
The interviewer had to change time the day before even if it was scheduled 1month ago. I had two interviews. The first interviewer seemed quite indifferent. They were both nice conversation tho.
