I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at OC&C Strategy Consultants (Rotterdam) in Feb 2016
Interview
De procedure begon met het opsturen van een motivatiebrief, cv en cijferlijsten. Vervolgens werd ik uitgenodigd voor de eerste ronde. Deze ronde startte met een rekentoets (op papier). Hiervoor moest je in (te) korte tijd rekensommen maken aan de hand van taballen en gegevens die in een bijlage (1 pagina vol) stonden. Hierna volgden drie gesprekken. In het eerste gesprek werd alleen de persoonlijke motivatie behandeld. De gesprekken hierna bestonden uit een persoonlijk gedeelte en een case interview. In deze case interviews werd verwacht dat je hoofdrekenen heel sterk en snel was. Eén van de cases werd een written case (dit werd niet van tevoren gecommuniceerd), waarbij je aan de hand van data in drie kwartier zelfstandig drie vragen moest beantwoorden en hierna je bevindingen moest presenteren aan de interviewer.
