Did a case study for a Corp strategy role. Had candid feedback after. Realized we’re super freaks and dominate in these situations against other Corp candidates. Made me want to stay in consulting.

For my final rounds at Bain and LEK, they had us review slides for a couple hours and then pull some out to make a presentation shortly after. As you can tell from the name of my firm, I did not excel at this. Glad to hear OP's experience was a little more relaxed in case I find myself in a similar situation.

Can you give us more detail of the case and the feedback you got?

All -
I am interviewing for a Strategy leadership role at a SaaS company. A bit rusty on interviews so crowdsourcing from senior folks here, what are best practices or good examples of certain behavioral questions.

1. What is your weakness? I can talk at length about strengths but unclear what weakness to state so as to not mess up my chances.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? This question is tough because there aren't very many levels above me so cannot say in an EVP role.

I’m new to this startup and was leading a cross functional project involving several other product teams with dependencies. When we got near the end with E2E testing, I realized that none of the product teams really do QA: no test scripts, not logs of dev unit testing, no documentation of testing cycles – there devs asked “what do we do about edge cases?” I raised this to my boss (since I don’t manage those other teams) and he said I’m creating unnecessary stress for the teams. Is he right?
