I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Roland Berger (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The interview was ok, it started off a little bit awkward, but continued with some general "tell me about a time" questions. Then jumped into a case which was a pretty simple and straight-forward case. We only had 10 or 15 minutes to complete the case (4 parts...), so I didn't have time to finish it. I went through all of the correct steps, but feedback after the interview was that others were able to complete the case faster. So it seems like speed was extremely important for this interview.

Did you attend the company presentation? What did you learn?
I interviewed at Roland Berger (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
I have 2-3 case interviews. The interviews were done on real-time with no offline time to prepare. The cases were focused on market sizing, profitability issues and growth strategies. The Crafting Cases channel was very helpful to prepare for those
As expected in the management consulting industry. 4 interviews with relevant people in HR, then the team. They asked some unusual questions to test how you think, like how many ping pong balls fit inside a car.

I applied online. I interviewed at Roland Berger (Munich, Bavaria) in Oct 2024
Interview
3rd Interview with Partner Chantal Jäger: quick intro of candidate (me) and her, then case interview.
Quite bad experience overall with interruptions and cold atmostphere. In general, I had the impression from the start of the case that she does not want me to succeed in this case interview.
