Strategy Mba Interview Questions

50 strategy mba interview questions shared by candidates

If you're interviewing for strategy, have a deep understanding about Zillow's business model, the competitive landscape and ideas on challenges and opportunities for the company. Questions were: what are our key competitors? Why are we differentiated? What are the fundamentals in our business? What are the opportunities given these fundamentals? What are key challenges? How would go about building a Zillow operation in Canada? In addition, there was one behavioral question about "tell me an achievement you're proud of in your life" which was also very tricky. The interviewer was looking for more tangible responses rather than a lifeline of events concatenated.
