I applied online. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (London, England) in Jul 2017
Interview
Quick to get to interview stage, and interview itself was fairly thorough and fair. But I was advised they would get back to me shortly, and 2 weeks later, I had to drag information out of them that I had been unsuccessful. Also: was asked fairly trite questions such as "what are your weaknesses" and "what adjectives describe you?"

Structured and standard. Behavioral fit and case interview. First round with manager and final round with director and several partners. The overall process took around 2 months. One of the case interview is more creative and need the interviewee to drive the conversation. Others are relatively standard and conversational.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Dubai) in Aug 2023
Interview
Nice interviewers and an overall smooth interview process; 30 minutes of behavioral and 30 minutes of a case study. I didn't make it past the first two rounds but they gave me a profitability case for the first one and a drug pricing case for the second
