Interview
CV -> Online Test -> 1st Round Interview -> Final Round Interview
Interview consists of case studies and competency questions.
First Round consists of 1 case study (30 min) and 1 30 min competency interview.
Final Round has 1 case study (individual, 30 min), 1 panel case study (2 interviewers, 1 hour) and 3 30 min competency based interview.
I did very well in the first round but the panel interview in the second round was a bit odd. I couldn't understand the question well and the interviewers asked plenty of questions before you can digest the information. The other interviews were not tough.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (Sydney) in Mar 2026
Interview
First, we are given an AI interview with questions to answer on video. They only give 45 s to answer questions. Then there was a face-to-face interview, where it is 2 x 45 mins, where it is the same thing with 2 different people on seperate occasions.
First you take an online assessment. There are two rounds. First is one hour: half case, half behavioral. The first round is with younger analysts. Everyone was nice and supportive, also was on zoom.
2 rounds
R1: 30 min case 30 min behavioral. Case and behavioral weren’t difficult and seemed more like a vibe check.
R2: 2 x 30 min cases and 30 min behavioral (this interview was with much mkre Senior leadership)
