They definitely throw out some hard "what if" questions. The one that sticks out in my mind involved a 4 way stoplight and measuring how many times a day a red light flashes. There is no right answer; they just want to see the wheels turn and have a look at how you set up and process complex and abstract problems.

The brain teasers were all appropriately challenging. The interviewers made it clear that it was important for me to express my thought processes out loud, and were all willing to guide me in the right direction if they saw me struggling.

Coming from a liberal arts background, I did find the one market sizing question I was asked ("How many school buses are there in the US?") a little bit difficult (mental math is not my favorite), but I had done a few case interview questions in the past so I at least knew how to approach it. The interviewer was very helpful in guiding me through the process, though, and I felt good about the experience overall.
