Young professionals, graduates and students

Case interviews are designed to help us assess your critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and communication style in the context of a client situation. The case is presented as a real-time scenario between a client and consultant. The client (interviewer) prompts and provides the consultant (interviewee) with the scenario and information needed to solve an issue. The consultant then decides how to approach the problem. We are assessing candidates for skills* such as:
–        Structured problem solving
–        Quantitative and qualitative analysis
–        Communication and conveying ideas effectively
–        Thinking and presenting under pressure
–        Thinking holistically, including identifying risks and mitigation tactics.
The interview is guided and lasts approximately 45 minutes. The candidate will solve a business problem in real time. We strongly encourage all candidates to practice case interviewing prior to the interview, to ensure you are properly prepared.
