I interviewed at OC&C Strategy Consultants (London, England)
Interview
My consulting case interview was a very positive experience. The interviewer was professional, approachable, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. They created a comfortable environment that encouraged clear thinking and open communication. The case itself was challenging but fair, and the interviewer offered subtle guidance when needed, helping me stay on track without giving away the answer. Overall, it felt more like a collaborative problem-solving session than a test. I left the interview feeling confident and appreciated the opportunity to showcase my skills.
