I applied through university. I interviewed at Strategy& (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2014
Interview
2 45 min interviews- 15 min fit interview and 30 min case interview. Turn around was quick- moved to the next round of 1 hr each with Director and Partner. Partner made up a case based on his recent engagement. No numbers used, only framework tested
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you reduce the cost for a company manufacturing doors and windows?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Strategy& (Madrid)
Interview
Entre 3 y 4 entrevistas con managers/senior managers y 1 socio. Mucho foco en casos prácticos. Quizá demasiado hincapié en hard skills y muy poco en aspectos personales/fit, valores y cultura empresarial
Had two rounds of three interviews each, back to back, over two weeks. The first round with managers (one with a SA) and the second with partners at the firm. The process was well managed. The interview consisted of a regular case interview pattern - prompt, analysis recommendation. Nothing unusual.
