Second this—I did one for two different internal strategy roles at two different companies. I will say that they were a little less involved than you’d see in consulting (not as quant-heavy, etc)

Yes there are companies that use case interviews, especially for strategy and marketing roles with ex consultants (particularly MBB)

I’ve found only sales and consulting jobs conduct case interviews. Most only do behavioral if any structure is applied.

No. I’ve never done one in an industry job before.

Google yes

I wouldn’t say they’re as strict as those conducted in consulting though. I felt the Google ones were pretty chill. The interviewer doesn’t have a fact sheet they’re hiding from you or anything. Kind of felt like they were just winging it on their end too.

Depends on the company. Capital One does some kind of assessment.

Hi, I recently applied to a salesforce company and was selected for an interview. I had interviews with a recruiter, department manager and hiring manager and did well in them all.

What are the chances I do not get this job given that I did well in all 3 interviews leading to the final interview with the CEO?
