I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Kearney (Dubai) in Apr 2015
Interview
On campus recruiting for Round 1 with Manager, followed by 3 rounds of Skype interviews with Principals and Partners over 6 weeks. Round 2-4 were conducted over skype / telephone.
Pricipals were from different sectors, but made the interviews interesting.
All interviews lasted 1 hour.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Fit + Case.
The first case on campus had lots of charts and figures, and was searching for 2nd level insights drawn from the data and the calculations. Self-driving the case was important.
Advanced level round cases were unconventional and were being changed on the feet.
Smooth interview process, very well organized. Two rounds with two interviews each (fit + case). Expect results to come 1 week after each round, with the possibility to get feedback from interviewers.
I applied online. I interviewed at Kearney (New York, NY)
Interview
The case was easy. It was on the operation side, but the behaviours were difficult. They really want to see if you are fit or not. They asked me back to back questions about different situations, how I would deal with them, what my Mindset is
