Interview
I interviewed in february 2017. I applied through employee referral. HR contacted me very quickly to arrange the interview.
I first performed an online case (airline corporation), that part was quite easy.
Afterwards, I got interviewed by two principals.
The first one asked me about synergies of a bank merger. Even though the case was not tremendously difficult, I did not feel the interviewer wanted to help through the case.

I guess you need to have a "shark" profile to success.
