I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2018
Interview
1 case interview on campus, 3 case/1 behavioral in one day for second rounds at the office.
For the office interviews, the behavioral was with two associates for lunch - very casual. All the cases involved pricing along with general strategy. Showing a legitimate interest/knowledge in pricing helps a lot, even beyond performing well on the case. There was also an SAT style math test (15 minutes), but it wasn't too difficult.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you change the pricing strategy of a client fast food restaurant?
I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Stockholm, Stockholm)
Interview
I had 3, 1-hour long interviews with different people. 2 with senior consultants and the last with a director. The first was more heavy on the social aspect, with a 30 min case. The others were much shorter on the behavioural side.
I applied online. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Milan)
Interview
Processo nel complesso abbastanza lineare, ho applicato tramite il portale poi mi hanno fatto fare un colloquio conoscitivo e 2 casi di market sizing abbastanza semplici (ci tengono tanto a vedere come ragioni)
Went straight into case study without any behavioral questions or discussion with the interviewer. Average interview/ difficulty but I was just not prepared for the layout since it was my first consulting interview.
