Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Started with a general online assessment, not too difficult just some math based questions, problem solving, etc.

First round interview is two 45min interviews back to back with a Senior Associate and Manager. The first interview starts with behavioral/motivational/CV questions (Why Strategy&? Why consulting? Tell me about a time when x) and then pivots to a market sizing question. The second interview is a structured case study where you're given a slide packet of 10 or so pages and have 10min to read through them and go through 3 questions. In my experience you really don't have time to go through all the questions within 10min, but you're not expected to and you can kind of walk through the solutions with your interviewer while looking through the packet at the same time. One of the questions I got was related to TAM which did have a single answer within the pages of the packet-- the other two questions were more qualitative which are a LOT easier to freestyle answer while browsing through the slide packet at the same time.

Second round is identical to the first round except you'll be paired with Directors/Partners. My second round interview went a lot better than my first because the directors/partners happened to be a lot more conversational with me, but I've heard people with opposite experiences so YMMV.
