Interview Questionnaire 

1 Question

  • Q1. What are the factors you would consider when building a plant? (Case Type- General business acumen)

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Recommended Approach
Broke it into financial and non-financial and said ROI seems to be the best metric in financial. Went ahead after getting her buy-in and looked at various cost components in detail like labor, overheads etc. Throughout the interview, I was asked to go deeper and even when I was asked to move horizontally to other cost components, there was no closure of an issue. In the end, was just asked to summarize whatever we had done so far with 2 concluding statements

PI questions
Totally work and CV related cross questioning Why did you do this ELP and what did you learn Why SMC now This was a kind of stress interview where questions would start before I finished my answer. The same tone carried on in the case where scoping questions were frowned upon
Tips: What was good: Cool under pressure, confident What could be better: Take the hint if the interviewer is not giving data and lay out a structure and then ask questions explaining their relevance
