An impromptu question about what I would do about an air quality sensor in a community. Case study-like question was very poorly defined and the interviewer was very ill-prepared. The other interviewer did not speak at all until the end and seemed very uninterested in the interview. All the questions asked by the one interviewer were very poorly defined. It was the worst interview experience I have ever had.

How do WE end up being lead holders of names? Do YOU know what metric WE use for OUR sorts? Do YOU know the other factor WE sort for? What metric do YOU think WE'RE using to measure profitability? How do YOU think that WE decide what's in a high profitability portfolio and the cut-offs WE use? How do YOU think WE capture these drivers in OUR Core Strategy vs OUR market neutral strategy?
