Consulting Interview Preparation

Case Interview

Case Interview

 
A case interview is a way for us to discuss cases based on our client work.
 

What is a Case Interview?

What is a Case Interview?

The problems you will encounter are not designed to be brainteasers, or theoretical problems designed to stump you, but rather to reflect the challenges that our clients face. We love this format because we get to discuss cases based on our own client work.

All consulting role candidates (and some non-consulting roles) can expect a case interview, regardless of which office they apply to. 

 

What We Look For
  • The approach you take to solving a problem
  • How analytical and creative your thinking is
  • Your usage of data to quantify and make your recommendations
  • Your communication skills in conveying your ideas
  • How you would suggest implementing these proposals
