I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mars & Co (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Was contacted first over the phone and had an informal conversation about my interest in consulting and the company. Then I had a phone interview which included a brain teaser and was invited to the in-office final round interview afterward. The final round consisted of 2 one-on-one interviews with senior consultants (each with a case) and lunch with two consultants afterward.

Question 1
Why do you want to work at Mars as opposed to other strategy firms?
Behavioral interview. Questions asked: why consulting? why Mars & Co? Tell me about a time when... what are you looking for in your next role? The first step is a 20 minute screening call.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mars & Co (New York, NY) in Sep 2024
Interview
3 hour ‘Superday’ with 2 partners and an analyst. 2/3 were casing interviews. Was pretty good - not your typical framework case model sounded a bit made up on the spot was pretty good.
