Any Analysis Group fish willing to share your experience the company? I am a current business school student exploring opportunities with the firm post-biz school Analysis Group. Are the cases at the interview similar to that of other firms/casebook? I understand on the high level what’s the difference between AG’s project versus traditional strategy shops but wonder if you can elaborate on this.
I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Don’t neglect the fit portion. Doing well on the case interview is the minimum bar. Interviewers want to get to know you (most at least).
Re: 2nd round, same thing but with principals and/or partners. Don’t be intimidated by your interviewers. They’re people too and want you to do well. Make sure to pay attention to their subtle hints. They’ll often push you toward the right answer
Yup BCG1 nailed it. I would say R1 is more about “can you case?” first - and “are you a nice person who will fit with our firm culture?”, is a bit secondary. In R2 definitely 50-50. Partners / Principals do focus on fit and cases will be less standard format. Some offices do written case for R2 as well. Good luck!!
You seem like a nice person BCG1. Kudos to you.
