GT cases are not hard. They are interviewer driven and have 1-2 exhibits. The format for D level will likely be more conversational than "what's the gross margin". You may be asked how you should structure and staff a project.

I disagree with GT1's sweatshop culture comment (less stressful culture than big 4), but I agree that half the strategy practice works on program management and staff aug for 1 client. However, that's mostly an issue for M and below levels, as director, they want you to help land new accounts, not farm an existing diamond client.

What you should ask about is the revolving door of directors and senior managers (they are the same level, just MD track vs equity principal track). The strategy practice has seen several get hired and last barely a year over the past 4 years. I don't think any of the directors in the practice today are homegrown, and maybe only 3 senior managers, but that could change when promotions are made public on August 2.

Hi fishes, pls help-
1. How’s the WLB at EXL (Inductis, analytics)
2. There’s no JD provided, so unclear work structure. Also, have heard mixed feedback about the projects/learning curve. And so, extremely unsure whether to join.. any thoughts?
