HR Interview: A preliminary phone or video interview to discuss your background, motivation for applying, and basic qualifications. This may include behavioral questions to assess your fit with the firm's culture.
Multiple Rounds: Typically, you’ll have one or more case interviews where you analyze a business problem. You’ll be expected to structure your approach, analyze data, and propose solutions. Interviewers evaluate your problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and communication style.
Types of Cases: These may include market entry, profitability analysis, or business strategy scenarios.
Fit Questions: These interviews focus on your past experiences, teamwork, leadership, and conflict resolution. You may be asked to provide examples using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method.
Senior Leadership Interviews: Candidates often meet with partners or senior managers. This round may involve both case studies and deeper behavioral questions, focusing on your strategic thinking and alignment with the firm's values.
