Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How I work with teams and how I deal with conflict
Five rounds of interviews, with the first four involving a behavioural section and a case. The final interview was just behavioural/conversational. Mostly took a similar format, and definitely required preparation.
I had 3 rounds of case interviews with fit interview for three weeks. Each round took around 40 minutes via zoom. Every round was a 1:1 interview, Could ask questions to interviewers afterwards
