Yes we do. Not much special to prep for / no tricks. It tests all the same core skills as a 'normal' case and didn't feel gimmicky like other less common formats (e.g group interview). My main advice: manage your time wisely; having a well developed hypothesis with some depth is better than skimming every possible superficial insight.

Hi,

Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

I’ve already resigned, and would prefer to be unemployed rather than continue working here.
