I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher
Interview
Communication with HR went smooth and fast. First an online assessment with math test (tables & graph interpretation) and logic test (4 symbols, which one is 5th?). After this invitation to office and 5 interviews (one is considered 'lunch' but is also a personal interview). All interviews with one or several case studies, mostly market estimation based. Also some knowledge of pricing and pricing/sales/profit relationship. On a personal level people that worked there seemed a bit bland and many of the younger ones appeared quite tired and unhappy. Overall it did not give a particularly good impression of the company.
