A great article today in Dealbook discussing MBA interviews today in Silicon Valley and other places:

Answering the Unanswerable: Tips for that First Interview

To tell you the truth I know we have seen some of our clients use these types of questions in HireVue before and it’s been very effective for them and you can definitely tell which firms will ask these and which won’t.
