Assessment
Basics of Business Concepts
Strengths
• Knowledge of basic concepts (Brainstorming, MECE, ROI, decision tree, Profit) is enough to understand the content
• Content in general is more advanced
Weaknesses
• The material doesn’t focus on basic concepts, so it is not complete in this criteria, and doesn’t contain all related topics in the same section, or topic, so it is not clear where to find them.
Personal Fit
Strengths
• Good videos with the tips and concepts.
• Podcasts with good behavioral related to PEI/FIT Interviews explanation which can give candidates a real-life situation perspective.
Weaknesses
• Basic concepts are not well detailed, there are contents and tips more implicit in the coaching episodes.
Case Interview: Theory
Strengths
• Articles and Podcasts with good content for different types of cases and situations.
Weaknesses
• The website doesn’t bring a clear approach to the topic, it is mixed between general content available. • No clear method used.
Case Interview: Practice
Strengths
• Recorded coaching episodes contain deep feedback and well explained to candidates on how to improve their skills.
Weaknesses
• Lacks an easy method of practicing (not the focus of the material because they work with a coaching 1-on-1 sessions strategy)
• Candidates can only practice by watching those episodes and trying to follow the logic applied.
Case Interview: Math
Strengths
• Articles explaining some basic math formulas in order to solve business case (ROI, profit, breakeven) and advices
• Website recommend other external good tools for those who want to practice math.
Weaknesses
• Don’t have any specific tool or method. They believe candidates will improve their math skill by practicing real cases.
Path Clarity
Strengths
• None
Weaknesses
• Website doesn’t guide visitors; they don’t show a clear path to follow contents and have a very difficult integration with StrategyTV.com to access most part of premium materials available.
