first round with 2 mba grads, basic case; final round with 2 partners, and the case was about something related to a case book so not made up in the moment
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.
