Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to work cross functionally
Pretty straightforward. Had to complete 5 exercises, one focused on financials, other focus on emotional intelligence, and other typical GMAT exams. Would recommend anyone to prepare for this interview as they were not easy at all.
