I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Paris) in Apr 2016
Interview
Only 2 rounds but that may have changed, quite relaxed, was asked a lot of brainteasers along with a pricing case. On the whole it is an enjoyable process if you enjoy brainteasers. But new hiring policy requires more rounds of interviews for intern hires
Zwei Interviews direkt hintereinander für jeweils 1h.
Musste jeweils eine Präsentation vorbereiten. Eine über eine Marketingstrategie und eine warum man sich für SKP entschieden hat.
Personal fit plus Case Study. Meistens zu Pricing oder Growth
