Interview
Interview started with a 30-minute phone call from the recruiter going over my resume + motivations in joining the firm. Next stage was an interview with a current consultant at the firm, with 5 minutes behavioral, 20 minutes case, and 5 minutes for questions at the end. Final interview was 2 back-to-back interviews (same format as previous one), with an Engagement Manager and a Partner. Cases covered brain teasers and business situation cases (pricing, market entry, and more). The recruiter was incredibly quick in scheduling interviews, keeping me in the loop during decision-making periods, and finally in extending an offer. Looking forward to joining the firm!
