Yeah it's pretty common, we've done it too - mostly to make sure people ACTUALLY know what they're talking about and not just BSing for the interview (it does happen!)

Yes, but please be wary of this new interviewing device b/c sometimes companies do it to get free work and the candidate never hears back

Certainly not looking to do it for any free work. It would all be hypothetical...but struggling to find ways that make sense. I get it for project managers, strategists, creatives...but what do we do for our discipline?

I've never had to do this in my various job searches. I'm not even sure exactly how they could test a potential account manager like this. If anything you might be asked to lay out your steps for how to do an upsell or something like that. But still seems sort of odd.

Does anyone have examples they’re willing to share?

I’ve interviewed with a few companies that have given case studies and required a PPT presentation. I feel that it’s a shady practice because they can use the free ideas they get from the people they do not hire. As someone mentioned, feels like you’re doing free work.

Even if you're presenting old, public work?

I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.

The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
