Question 1
What would you do if you have planned a holiday but you have to work?

Interview
First a phone interview, then a timed exercise to do at home, and then an in-person interview, a timed exercise at the company and meeting with the other employees.
Although everything went well and my knowledge matched their requirements, I was rejected on the basis that they think that I wouldn't be able to accommodate all of their workload.
I was thankful that I did not get an offer because the director who was conducting the last interview did not seem to be somebody who sees work as a win-win relationship. He was working on other stuff the whole time while I was giving a presentation and only looked at me for a few seconds every now and then.

Interview
Was a bit chaotic and the case was a bit too broad to think about strategically. Felt more like a data crunchers job than a strategy consultants job. Which is ok but has to be advertised as such
