RED FLAG. Company made me sign an NDA prior to interviewing. They likely used my work and deck materials with actual clients and ghosted me after the “interview.”
They gave me a business case (3 separate parts, without supporting information) which was a full-blown consulting project.
Second red flag, they only gave me 7 days to do it. I had a full-time job too.
Even with ChatGPT, this case could not have been completed with less than 20 hours of prep and research. It took me 40+ hours and the interviewers asked me to SEND my deck and financial model after the fact, which I foolishly did. 100% confident that they used my ideas to sell the Cloudera platform to new customers.
