Firms that sell delivery capacity and advisory work to clients, where the interview is partly technical assessment and partly a rehearsal of how you will sound in front of the client paying for you.
Breadth beats depth here, because a consultant is staffed against whatever the account needs next quarter and the panel is measuring how quickly you become useful on an unfamiliar codebase. The rounds that decide the outcome are usually the case study and the client-facing conversation: estimation, scoping, what you do when the requirement is ambiguous, and how you say no to a client without losing the account. Presales and solutioning questions appear even for delivery roles at senior levels, since anyone leading a workstream eventually writes part of a proposal.
Do not dispute the claim; ask what it includes. Most unmatchable claims are matchable claims with a different scope or a hidden assumption underneath them, so decompose it against your own basis, concede honestly where the competitor is genuinely better, and make sure the customer knows what question to ask them.
Change what the meeting is about rather than how it is run: inspect the board against the Sprint Goal instead of polling individuals, stop being the person addressed, and push detail into a follow-on conversation. If the Sprint has no real goal, no format will save the event.
