United StatesPosted Jan 2018 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a difficult short-format campus interview where the case was long and data-heavy, with only a quick behavioral portion.

Campus interview (behavior then difficult case) — About 30 minutes total split between a very brief behavioral “tell me about yourself” segment and a case that was described as difficult, long, and complicated.
Case + late behavioral on data tables — An interview starting with a case using a data table, focusing on interpretation and how it would change a recommendation; behavioral followed toward the end. Outcome: I didn’t get an offer, and the takeaway was to prepare to interpret data tables under time pressure.
