Please describe the interview / hiring process.
The first round phone screen interview involved a rather basic about why entering consulting and how my past experiences would be connected with the job specs. This was rather easy to get through

The next round covered an inperson assessment where they sent a financial statement 1 week in advance and asked me to create some slides to go through in 30minutes regarding management concerns. It was quite difficult not having financial experience but a few courses would help and all the concerns were in the first few pages. AT the interview you review this and they say they want some changes based on an email. The second part of this round covered more behavioural based questions and also a surprise market sizing - how many containers would be needed to fit all the bananas eaten in the UK in a single day. I did not pass this due to nerves which messed with my maths.

The next round would have been 3-4 cases and a lunch with associates. I was not invited back due to poor performance in the market sizing section.
