I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Strategy& (London, England) in Dec 2021
Interview
Initially send in CV and cover letter. Then you are invited to two initial interviews (one structured and one unstructured). After passing that, you are given feedback and invited to a final two interviews (of the same style).
Unstructured case study involved market sizing, brainstorming, and some competency/motivation questions. For the structured case interview, you are given 15m to go through extracts and answer questions which you later present to the interviewer.

I applied online. I interviewed at Strategy& (New York, NY) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview was pretty standard in terms of case and behaviorals. Cases were about technology and data to analyze because that is what the position was. Interviewers were friendly, and process was not too long—I believe just 1-2 rounds. Declined offer for another firm, but interviewers reached out after to chat about the opportunity and were pretty transparent about what PWC/Strategy& had to offer in comparison.
