Interview
Difficult interview but nice interviewers and decent communication from recruiters. They are very up front about the interview process. Heard back within 10 days of submitting application. Only had firs round interview. Two difficult cases: one on a furniture company and another on an agricultural tech company. Didn't advance to following round. Know your math!

Question 1
Calculate the breakeven point on a hectare basis for a farmer utilizing the new agriculture-tech company's product.
2 rounds of interviews, each round consisting of 3 interviews with cases. In the first round 2 case interviews and 1 with HR. In the 2nd round you have 3 interviews with more senior profiles like managers and partners.
Interviewers were really nice, but the process was difficult. Standard level cases and they expected you to take them through multiple business problems. If you practice casing frequently with multiple partners, you should be fine.

Question 1
Please walk me through how you would approach this case.
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.
