Entretien
Lengthy interview process asking various of questions on how to better the the company - it was as if they were trying to farm ideas rather than actually interview you for the role.

This is also one of my personal top 10% unsatisfying interview experiences.
Applied via LinkedIn.
Scheduled by a recruiter to speak with the hiring manager.
Some behaviorals, then went straight to an (unexpected) mini-case. Was given some info and how I would approach making a decision based on the limited information. Was told I'd hear back within 3 days.
Basically ghosted. Waste of time. Felt like the hiring manager was just fishing for free strategy work. Doesn't help when you don't inform the candidate that there's a mini-case in literally the first conversation with someone at the company.

There is an unspoken understanding - that if the hiring company speaks to your references, and these talks are positive - they will hire you. Otherwise, you're burning a reference credit for nothing.
This is a clear expectation - however, it was not met this time, which truly is very disappointing.

Question 1
Expect real life cases (i.e. not classic consulting, but cases that actually relate to the job at hand) in almost every interview.
