I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Strategy& in Aug 2014
Interview
Like any consulting firm they flew me out and treated me well. By far a "dream" job If I had been hired but the HR representatives they have are absolutely incompetent and pathetic. On an interview power day there were about 6-10 candidates and I made connections with a few of them exchanging numbers.
The folks that got rejected got a very high level useless e-mail not giving us any clarity as to why we were declined. MOST, not all HR folks have the courtesy to provide feedback but this bunch never returns calls, e-mails or even try to align you elsewhere in the organization.
Everything happens for a reason, so I can't be upset but for anyone else going thru the process, please be prepared to be lied to even though you know you probably fit the role 110%.
Save this screen shot, the firm will decline in the next 5 years.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Your friend wants to open a new shop in NYC, what do you tell him?
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.
