Relatively informal-feeling conversation. He asked me many of the “standard” interview questions such as why Ross, why an MBA, tell me about a time when you led a team, tell me about a time when you disagreed with a superior and how you handled it…etc. It then took a slight twist when he shifted gears and asked if there was one thing I could change about the world, what would it be and why. It seemed to be a very open ended question and we ended up chatting about my answer after.
