Associate

I went through the MBA campus recruiting process. Leading up to the interview, they paired me up with an associate to practice case studies and give advice. They also provided access to cases to study which were helpful.

First round: two different interviews with engagement managers (1 on 1) both online one after the other. Each interviewer asked one personal experience interview question followed by a case study question.

Second/ final round: in-person at their offices and consisted of three interviews with three different partners. Same format as the previous round where each interviewer asked me a personal experience question followed by a case study.

For the case studies, no calculator - just pen and paper. Each interview was around 45 mins to 1 hr. The interviewers really ranged in personality; some were very serious and asked a lot of pressing questions while others were very engaged and collaborative. There is limited time to complete each case so it is important to be efficient and as structured as possible. The case studies ranged and were all completely different in topic, industry, style. I think it is important to be very communicative and be able to think on your feet.
