Rejected after first interview. No complaints, they were nice and interview was well structured. 40min case + 20min fit each. Online assessment was a bit weird beforehand, better in other MBB.

Question 1
Case and fit, pretty standard structure and expected. Case on fmcgs
It was fine. The partner round interviews were less structured and much more difficult. Majority of my interviewers were really nice which made the process better than what I had anticipated.
2 rounds of interviews, each round consisting of 3 interviews with cases. In the first round 2 case interviews and 1 with HR. In the 2nd round you have 3 interviews with more senior profiles like managers and partners.
Interviewers were really nice, but the process was difficult. Standard level cases and they expected you to take them through multiple business problems. If you practice casing frequently with multiple partners, you should be fine.
