1. What is a case interview?
Case interviews are used by companies to test an interviewee's ability to solve business problems. Each case interview usually lasts 20-40 minutes and consists of 2-6 questions.
While answering each case question, the interviewee can demonstrate their quantitative and qualitative understanding of business as well as soft skills, such as communication and logic.
The interviewee is expected to ask questions to clarify the problem, structure their approach, and provide a recommendation.
The interviewer will provide feedback at the end of the case interview.
