More like BB, than M. They will be evaluating same metrics/skillsets, but evaluation will be tailored to S&'s approach.

Behaviorial, then case. The case will be - The prompt, solutioning (anything is possible here), and then recommendations. Solutioning is more likely to be like BB, but could be like Mck. It is at the interviewer's discretion but you should recognise it easily.

I got a mix of interviewer led and interviewee led cases back in my day (post-mba). Key to success - stay flexible and open minded on format, and focus on exemplifying the traits you know they are evaluating (structuring, analysis, creativity, executive /top down communication, etc).

Which group? What level?

Senior associate*

they’re hiring like crazy.

Which vertical/industry?

Any insights into the behavioral portion of the S& interviews?
