Are candidates penalized for not getting through the whole (interviewer-led) case?

Hi,

You are not penalized if you didn't go through the whole structure during the case. E.g if you found that the problem was in your 1st / 2nd bucket

You are penalized if:

• In the interviewer led case you have not done all the steps: structuring, math, creativity question, synthesis
• In the interviewee led case you didn't manage to come to an answer

Hope it helps,

Best!

Hey,

Agree with others - you will be penalized if you run the case too slow and then the interviews can not run you through all of his prepared questions (you just need to think that the case is prepared so that an outstanding candidate, the ones who got offers, can do all pieces, not just part).

however, I’m quite intriged with the feedback you referred - if you are able to quickly and accurately solve all the pieces you’re given.. I don’t see any reason why you weren’t given the full case, so if this was just a practice with other candidate be careful calibrating for it!

Yes you would be penalized if you aren't able to go through all the key components of the case. Less penalized if the elements you didn't get through were not "core" elements but you highlighted them as potential follow-up analyses.

Hope it helps,
