I applied online. I interviewed at Kearney (Ljubljana)
Interview
I applied online on A.T. Kearney's corporate website to multiple positions in various countries, one of which was in Ljubljana, Slovenia. One day (after a few weeks, maybe even a month or more) I received an e-mail from the HR coordinator inviting me to a pre-screening interview and decided to come to on a short notice. The staff was pleasant, especially the HR coordinator, although I can't say the same for the consultant that interviewed me. It was my first interview for a major consulting company and overall a great learning experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview was comprised of two parts:
1. Case interview with a senior consultant (60 min). Which was in reality an interview with questions like "why AT Kearney?", "why did you choose consulting?", "where do you see yourself in 5 years?", questions from my CV, etc.; followed by a generic case with too little information and too little time on disposal (10-15 mins). I was given the case and the senior consultant left the room. After my time ran out, the senior consultant went back to the room and I had to present my recommendations followed by the explanations. Although, I was supposed to have one or two more cases, the consultant thanked me for coming and I knew instantly that I blew it.
(I wrote the test afterwards despite being completely sure that I failed)
2. Test - multiple choice test (similar to GMAT format), use of calculator is allowed (60 min)
Structure of the test:
• 1.1 – Quantitative: Logical counting questions
• 1.2 – Quantitative: Statements
• 2.1 – Verbal: Understanding of logical text
• 2.2 – Verbal: Reading a passage
• 3.1 – Case studies: Reading a table of numbers
• 3.2 – Case studies: Reading a graph
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kearney (Munich, Bavaria) in Apr 2026
