Hi there,

1. What kind of questions should I prepare?

ANY. They could ask how they should improve x, or what to do if y happens, or what your experience is with z.

Anything e-commerce and you related is fair game!

2. What is the fundamental difference between manager and director level interview?

Hard to say without knowing the firm. In general, there is more “chat” and they expect much more expertise from you. They will test you more on your technical knowledge as well as your past work.

3. What kind of expectations that they have since I am an MBBers?

High.

4. ANy prep that should I do?

YES. Get a coach. Mock the interview. When leaving BCG I actually interviewed with a few ecommerce/tech firms. Remember that while they don't do “cases” like consulting firms (rigid), they DO ask “flowing” brainstorming  + riddle + problem solving questions that relate to their business.

I'm afraid my answer is going to disappoint you, but honestly, you can get much better answers to these questions from the recruiter themself: 

Ask them

1. What is the format of the interview

2. Whether they have any prep materials that they would recommend you use

Then, start doing some networking. Look into who they hired in the last 2-3y who is also from MBB. Reach out to them for a brief chat. Ask them how their recruitment process went and take it from there. 

Best,
Cristian

Hi there,

Those questions should be better asked to your recruiting contact :)

It is challenging to provide an accurate answer for an company without knowing the name.
