I have a case interview coming up at Google for a strategy and ops mgr role. Could you please share your experience if you have gone through it? Basically trying to understand 1) how the cases are different from consulting interviews, 2) depth of vertical knowledge expected, 3) how leadership/fit is weaved in to the interview.

Sorry, nothing helpful to add, but Mind reporting back on your experience OP?

1) less math, a lot more problem solving and creative thinking. The case interviews could test traditional strategy (market sizing, GTM, etc.) or product sense or cross-functional collaboration. Make sure you know the product(s) well and think of cases that could involve that product. Tech cases tend to dive pretty deep or niche.

2) they don’t expect you to know everything but expect to be asked questions that are deep enough to keep you on your feet

3) not sure about Google but at other tech companies each interviewer tests a different aspect of fit, usually woven into their case or exercise

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?
