I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Strategy& (Johannesburg) in Jan 2018
Interview
Very straightforward. Submitted docs through email instead of a portal.
Interview scheduling was a nightmare with multiple last minute changes. But the interviews were very structured once in them. There were 4 rounds ranging from engagement managers, ADs to Managing partner of the region.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Transferrable skills from industry to Consulting
2. Why the move from Operations to Strategy
3. Case styudy on market sizing (bubble gum sales)
