Interview questions [1]
Question 1
it was difficult to assess the type of behavior you should have. As soon as the interview with the consultants started, I tried to adapt to their friendly and informal posture; At the end one of the reasons why i wasn't selected was due to my "friendly" posture that might be seen as non-professional behavior;

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview standards, sometimes a bit abstract especially on partner level
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
Was medium difficulty has a lot of brainstorming and analytical elements
Required quick thinking structuring and deep analysis to really ace it easily
Practice is def mandatory and failure to do so will lead to failure
