I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (New York, NY)
Interview
There was a three round process. Very professional and positive experience. The first interview was a phone interview with someone from HR. Next I had another phone interview to test my language skills as I applied for a bilingual role. I also had to submit a writing sample in the required language. Following interviews were two rounds of 1:1 interviews with three individuals. The entire process was 1-2 weeks.
Round one was a video interview with someone from HR. She seemed pleasant and spoke as if I had a good chance. The interviewer never followed up despite this impression and my sending a follow-up.
Took about 4 weeks, and got an offer afterwards. Everyone was friendly and had knowledge about the industry. I interviewed with 5x people on the team, all from hr to partners.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview process was great and they came back saying they had positive things to say about me but they’ll go for someone else. It was really weird as it wasn’t one person they were recruiting for. I thought the interview was great but the outcome was disappointing
