Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the online test the mathematical and logical part was quite easy, but there was a section about series that was almost impossible.
2 cases for R1. Pretty straightforward cases about revenue optimization opportunities. There was a little bit of market sizing but all data needed was given. No behaviorals asked in round 1 for me.
