The HR interview was nice and friendly so too was the first interview on the assessment day. (Why consulting? Why SKP? Describe a time you have changed your approach? What does a consultant do?) The case study was ridiculous, given 2 hours to read 102 slides then get asked case study question (cost to treat a disease, what recommendations , what would you price drug X at and how would you approach that). I think the worse thing was the feedback. I was rejected by someone from the HR team who I had never spoken to before and when I asked 'which interview did I need to explain my answers more concisely in?' She didn't event know I had two interviews.

The first 15 minutes were: tell us about yourself -- experiences and CV? Why are you interested in the company? Why are you interested in this specific role? The remaining time was dedicated to business case studies: pretty straightforward, the first question was always what elements do you have to consider for this case? One interview also contained a logic puzzle, while another interview also contained a market sizing question. The market sizing question was: How many ski boots are bought annually in Switzerland?
