I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alvarez & Marsal (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2019
Interview
This is actually the second time I interviewed with A&M. The first time was 2 years back and I made it to the final rounds for corporate performance improvement practice. The final round consisted of a group case and presentation to senior leadership. It was pretty challenging but overall a good experience.
This time around I was reached out to by a recruiter on linked in for a valuation role. I had a few phone interviews with HR and then a director in the practice, everyone was very professional and easy to talk to. Made it to the final round but ended up accepting an offer elsewhere before the interview so I did not attend the final round interview. A&M and everyone I interacted with was very nice and professional, maybe someday I will end up working there and I would be happy to do so.
There was an HR Screen, Interview for 45mins with some technicals some behavioral, and 2 hour case interview with excel portion. Tests your ability to create data insights from raw numbers.
I interviewed at Alvarez & Marsal (London, England)
Interview
4 rounds, 1 HR, one with wider team, one with hiring manager and one with MD. HR interview was more generic, wider team was to see fit, hiring manager was to see ambitions, MD was broad.
There is an aptitude (Miracle / PACE‑style) test online, plus a case interview and an Excel test from the team (often at the same time). After that, usually two MD interviews
