Corporate Strategy and Business Development Analyst Interview - Business Development
The phone interview was very basic and consisted of many qualifying questions. She asked me about my prior work/internship history, current wages, salary expectations, etc. We then discussed what I knew about finance and valuation methodologies. The phone interview was concluded by asking about Excel and PowerPoint abilities. They required knowledge of VLOOKUPS, SUMPRODUCT, etc.
The in-person interview consisted of a few 1 on 1 interviews with team members. The manager's interview was a case study and included several brain teasers. This position requires a mix of financial and consulting knowledge, and the interview was a mix of your typical banking/consulting interviews.
I have not used these functions in my models. I told the interviewer this. I was later told that this killed my candidacy (which seems petty). They REQUIRED knowledge of these functions.
The strategy is listed in the company's 10-K and on their website. It includes continued innovation, value, relationships with trade customers, expansion in emerging markets, etc.
