I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kearney (New York, NY) in Oct 2019
Interview
Easy interview process compared to MBB. As long as you know how to case, the interview process will be a breeze. Probably only have to do 5 case interviews to be prepared, whereas MBB can be as many as 60. For the behavioral, just be yourself and try to keep it conversational - all very standard questions!
First-round (virtual): 1 case interview (40 mins), 1 behavioral interview (40 mins)
Final-round (in-person): 2 case interviews (40 mins), 1 behavioral interview with a partner (40 mins)
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Case interview prompt: Private-label has become a threat for a large cookie manufacturer - how would you advise them?
Case interview prompt: Global appliances company (think kitchen appliances) is experiencing weakening profitability in the LATAM - what should we consider to increase profitability?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kearney (Munich, Bavaria) in Apr 2026
