I had two interviews, both had a very positive, conversation-like atmosphere.
In both, there first were some personality-related and motivational questions, then I had to solve a case (1 market sizing, 1 business), and finally I had to present a topic I was given in advance (present a brand that you think has a clever marketing strategy; why Simon Kucher & Partners among all other consultancies).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Estimate the annual consumption of raw coffee in tons in Switzerland
I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Stockholm, Stockholm)
Interview
I had 3, 1-hour long interviews with different people. 2 with senior consultants and the last with a director. The first was more heavy on the social aspect, with a 30 min case. The others were much shorter on the behavioural side.
I applied online. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Milan)
Interview
Processo nel complesso abbastanza lineare, ho applicato tramite il portale poi mi hanno fatto fare un colloquio conoscitivo e 2 casi di market sizing abbastanza semplici (ci tengono tanto a vedere come ragioni)
Went straight into case study without any behavioral questions or discussion with the interviewer. Average interview/ difficulty but I was just not prepared for the layout since it was my first consulting interview.
