Applied in Jan 2023, heard back pretty quick - Screening chat with the recruiter which went well - First case interview, was about cost reduction and was fairly easy. The interviewer was very approachable - Excel test which was hard to finish on time - Take-home case assignment for which I had to make slides for a client and how SSA can help. I got rejected after that, but was told there was a CEO chat as a final step I personally feel I had included a lot of analysis for the case assignment, but received the feedback that I could go more in-depth. Felt like they needed free labor to use in their pitches/business development. I don't think anyone should be spending 40 hours a week on a case assignment, especially when there are so many steps to the interview process that lasted two months.
