I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (New York, NY) in Feb 2013
Interview
One fit interview - discuss a fair number of standard situational questions (e.g. moment of leadership or initiative)
One short case interview (e.g. guesstimate)
One presentation interview (one open ended question with 20 min to prepare before presenting to a rather senior panel)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the size of the prepaid card market in Brazil
it was smooth but you need to work hard on your calculations skills, i failed in this part of the case because the calculator is not allowed and i had not familiarize myself with it before the interview but overall it was a good experience
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about yourself, why consulting and the case question
Interviewers never attended on time. Rescheduled 7 times. Cases were easy relative to other firms. They dont take candidates very seriously so prepare for that. Personal questions include why OW?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (Zürich)
Interview
Vorstellungstag im Zürich Office mit 5 Interviews. Morgens 3 Interviews (2 Cases + 1 HR Interview). Danach geht es zum Mittagessen, woraufhin man bei der Rückrunde erfährt ob man in die zweite Runde am Nachmittag kommt. In der zweiten Runde gib es dann wieder 2 Case Studies.
