Big4/IBM, case interviews?

For audit in the US and Canada... the Big 4 do not have case interviews. IBM probably would for their consulting practice, as would the Big 4 for advisory (consulting).

Thanks.

Anyone interview at these places, and know for sure?

Deloitte has case interviews for their strategy & operations analyst role. I am not sure about other analyst roles such as Business Technology Analyst roles that Deloitte runs, which isn't much of a strategy but more of an IT consulting role. IBM consulting also has some case questions, but more of a behavioral/ fit questions. IBM consulting isn't strategy consulting, but IT consulting. So, they ask you few case questions and many other questions such as your knowledge on technology, fit, personality, behavior, some technical questions, etc

deloitte BTA and BA have cases, as does IBM GBS

PM me if you want my IBM case.

Are their cases similar to MBB, and do they carry the same weight?

generally same weight, i'd say so yes

cases are pretty similar, though from my experience big4 (i only interviewed with deloitte S&O of the big4) and ibm seemed to be more interviewer-driven (they asked more questions and guided more) than MBB and other strategy firms

but if you prepare for the "worst case," where you have to lead everything and are ready for that, you'll be able to handle a more interviewer-led one as well

Anyone go through recruiting with PwC? I don't know why, but I was always thought that PwC was all behavioral.

BTW, are recruiting methods the same across different regions?

My experience with PwC is that it's just behavioral, but I don't know if that holds for all of their groups. If you're concerned about upcoming interviews, you can just email HR/recruiting and ask them what the format will be.

I completed mine very recently with Deloitte- there were only two rounds total. One behavioral, one case, and one mixed. They were 30 mins each.
