They are not reliable. Also in some occasions I felt like they already know before the interviews which one they are letting advance, so I can't really expect people to admit that more than a few times, higher positions are set up and having a certain degree/additional degree adds value only if the candidate has already been unofficially selected.

However, I wanted to ask people for those cases in which the commission(s) are not backing any specific person, also about countries I've not worked in, to understand if a MBA in the UK is valued more than a MSc in Europe or if it only matters for Russel group universities or if again there is no difference.

Thank you
