Hi All,
I've been invited to interview for a strategy analyst position within the corp strategy/development group at a tech firm (think Oracle/Cisco type). Does anyone have any idea as to what the interview is like for corp strategy? Would it be similar to a MBB interview? (e.g., behavioral questions / walk through a case)
What should I do to prepare? I've already started reviewing Case In Point, and HBSCase Guide. Anything else I should look into? I have CS background so I should be ok on the tech aspect of the interview.
Thanks.





Use Linkedin to see the make
Use Linkedin to see the make up of the Corporate Strategy team. If it's all ex-MBB folks, then expect to go through the gauntlet case style with a tilt towards the company's Industry (ex: Cisco, how to grow networking segment in Asia market). Otherwise, it could be more fit/situational driven. Also, make sure to go through latest analyst transcript and news to get up to speed on the company.
