I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at OC&C Strategy Consultants in Oct 2025
Interview
The process involves three rounds. The first is an online test. The second round consists of two back-to-back 30-minute interviews with consultants or senior consultants. These are based on a simple case study with some behavioral questions, but the primary focus is on the case. The format is more flexible than a traditional McKinsey-style case.
The third round involves two 45-minute interviews with partners or senior partners. These are also case interviews, but they are significantly more difficult than those in the second round.
After the second round, it took two weeks to get a response. After the final round, they provide results within 48 hours.
The interviewers in the second round were very friendly, and the interview experience itself was positive. However, the recruiting team was extremely unresponsive. They did not reply to any questions throughout the process, resulting in a severe lack of communication and a terrible overall candidate experience.

Interview
pretty chill. very case heavy, not a lot of behaviorals (although still be ready with a few story plus tell me about yourself and why). Cases were a lot of thinking and the interviewers were so nice and really seemed to care
