topic -- Media should be sensored
Trying to figure out the interview times... Were you among the first candidates to be interviewed for the day or among the last? Or was there no such correlation?

Please keep posting your extempore topics and interview experiences for the benefit of others who have their interviews over the next couple of weekends.

I dont know how much interview time other candidates experienced but mine was pretty short. Or may be the time flew. I supposedly was the first batch of the day. There was a lot of cross question on extempore but not so much on others

My topic: Large firms should allow their talented employees to have a spin off and start their own companies with buy back options.
sandip2295 this topic seems pretty different. I’d love to know how did you answer it :)

@sandip2295 this topic seems pretty different. I’d love to know how did you answer it :)

Hey, My stand was against it. I explained in the aspects of
People (The large firm will lose its talented employees in this process),
Quality (the large firm has become large because of its talented employees, hence if those employees start their own companies, the quality of large firms is likely to go down),
Action plan (there are possibilities of breach of such kind of contracts and it will be an inevitable headache for the large companies to pursue those cases) and
Cost (if the startup companies are financially backed by large firms, it is a riskier bet, since most of the startups fail.)
I also stated an example of BCG and Bain (how Bill Bain, an employee of BCG started his own company after working at BCG for 10 years and became its competitor) so there is a clear conflict of interest in such cases.

I was countered on each point but I somehow backed my stand. (backing it with facts was not a very good option for me since this scenario is not in practice at the moment) So I backed it with my own opinions and beliefs.

Are we going to be given multiple options for the extempore ? Like if we are clueless about a certain topic.
