Process
OA, then Powerday, like everyone describes.
I wasn't expecting the questions I was asked. The technical interview was not LeetCode, and the case study is something you can't prepare for.
Just expect to think about things from a business perspective, a marketing perspective, or from the consumer's perspective.
I enjoyed this interview, and I definitely learned many things from this experience.
