Question 1
1st interview: I did not expect it because it happened in the very first call. The interview had two parts, the first part was to test my creativity, I had to provide as many number of ideas to solve a specific daily problem. The second part, I had to estimate the price that should be assigned to a service provided by a Start-up. It lasted a total of 50 minutes.
2nd interview: The first interviewer asked me about my experience. Then he asked me to solve a business case (identify why a company was losing revenue, interpret graphs, etc.). The second interviewer gave me more graphs to interpret and one math problem to solve. The interview lasted 2 hours.
