Yes. All interviews that I’ve given for As, Cs, PLs, Pr’s, and Ps have been involved cases. Can’t speak to MDP interviews.

NH1. Sorry for the delay in replying. For me, when I was interviewing experienced hires, I focused a lot more on the substance of the case and the candidate’s ability to draw from previous experience or pattern match to find insight. That’s part of the fun of actually talking to someone with experience. Quite frankly I was less rigorous with the math parts, whereas with candidates out of undergrad or mba I would’ve expected them to have the math down cold.

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role? I've worked for the past 3 years in a practice that is heavily consulting based (inbound and outbound structuring) and I feel like I'm only just starting to understand the foundational concepts (where I can explain them clearly to clients) and offering a shred of value. Then I'll have calls where partners discuss complex tax, legal, treasury and other related concepts that all go over my head.. it becomes overwhelming

Did an interview yesterday that was supposed to be behavioral, but turned out to be more like the case interviews I did in undergrad. I think I showed off my business knowledge, but he kept harping on my lack of an official framework (vs me saying "I'd explore it from different stakeholder perspectives: customer, line employee, management"); pretty sure he considered it a failure.
